EyeLights Car, the all new holographic car display for the windshield of vehicle of the future
What is the EyeLights Car?
Compatible with most cars, the Automotive Head Up Display created by EyeLights is a technology that, when set on a dashboard, turns any car windshield into a holographic surface thus enabling safer navigation, music control, and phone calls, while keeping eyes away from distracting smartphones.
Presented at the CES 2019 and listed as one of the coolest devices on the road, the gadget is activated by voice or gestures. Most Head up displays are an option from automotive manufacturers however the EyeLights Car patented technology maintains a bright image, even during the day while displaying images 5x larger. The technology allows drivers to find all their content in one place while displaying their GPS, music, and calls directly in their field of vision. In addition to the holographic display, the full-car experience accessories include:
– the Gesture Control, a gesture sensor that uses infrared technology to detect hand movement in order to control the music, launch the backup camera or manage phone calls with the swipe of a hand. These add-ons are similar to the ones available on the BMW but with additional features such as passing on to the previous or next music track without touching the phone.
– a rear view camera, a wireless and waterproof backup camera that integrates with the EyeLights Car display.
Why is the EyeLights Car the way to go?
“The holographic technology lets drivers keep their eyes on the road while still getting crucial information from their smartphones” says Romain Duflot, Eyelights Founder and CEO. “More than half of car accidents happen because drivers get distracted by their devices. EyeLights Car aims to reduce those accidents through voice, visual and gesture control so drivers can safely keep their hands on the wheel.” Thanks to the HUD technology the driver’s reaction time is improved by 4.3 seconds. Concerns about minimizing distractions as well as keeping the driver tuned into reality and not falling into “game mode” also needs to be addressed as augmented reality for windshields is rolled out.
