Continental introduces glass-free three-D show for HMC Genesis GV80

Continental to debut volume-production show that includes autostereoscopic three-D generation available on the market within the HMC Genesis GV80 high-line variant. The generation presentations three-d scales, guidelines and items, as an example, exhibiting a forestall signal caution within the motive force’s line of sight. No particular glasses are required to peer the three-d caution sign. 

Continental makes use of parallax limitations – slanted slats that divide the picture for the viewer – as though having a look at actual items, two other, moderately offset perspectives achieve the fitting and left eye, ensuing within the three-d symbol. Continental’s inner digital camera, which detects the motive force’s line of sight and adjusts the three-D perspectives to their actual head place, performs an very important position. To stop drivers from focusing their consideration at the three-D display screen for too lengthy, the digital camera additionally employs consideration detection to spot attainable moments of motive force distraction or fatigue. With the three-D visualization of the tool cluster, Continental is curious about making sure the motive force isn’t overloaded with knowledge supplied via complex motive force help programs, typical presentations, communique products and services and infotainment programs.

Dr Frank Rabe, head of the Human System Interface (HMI) trade unit at Continental stated, “With our volume-production show that includes autostereoscopic three-D generation, we’re elevating human-machine interplay to an entire new degree and laying the rules for intuitive communique within the hooked up cockpit of the next day to come. To make certain that this acquire in protection and luxury does no longer come on the expense of a lean electronics structure, we built-in quite a lot of presentations within the middle console or dashboard into our Go Area Hub.”

Continental claims that someday, to scale back complexity and save weight and house, just a small selection of keep watch over devices can be required for the entire in-vehicle enter and output units. The Go Area Hub is a high-performance pc and the root for Continental’s three-D show getting used within the HMC Genesis. It marks an additional milestone within the transformation of recent E/E structure. The aim is to transport clear of a lot of particular person keep watch over devices to a couple of high-performance computer systems. Within the subsequent technology of Continental’s cross-domain answer, all presentations are built-in right into a unmarried unit. The driving force will be capable to distribute content material throughout a couple of presentations, as an example by the use of gesture keep watch over, dragging navigation maps from the entrance passenger’s show onto their very own display screen and arranging precisely the place they need to position them. In automatic using mode, the presentations merge throughout all of the width of the cockpit and be offering the entire products and services and apps which can be differently simplest to be had at the entrance passenger’s aspect.

To make certain that the entrance passenger and occupants within the rear seats too can benefit from the three-d revel in, Continental is lately creating a brand new three-D show according to the herbal three-D Lightfield Generation from Silicon Valley-based Leia Inc. With this generation, there may be neither the desire for cameras detecting head motion nor three-D glasses. In consequence, the Herbal three-D Show no longer simplest saves weight, house and prices but additionally opens up a complete international of virtual products and services to the entire passengers in a hooked up automotive – from video meetings and on-line buying groceries to augmented truth video games and three-D motion pictures. As an alternative of the parallax limitations described above, the program depends upon Diffractive Lightfield Backlighting (DLB™) generation from Leia. An optical waveguide with diffraction grating and nanostructures underneath the show panel making a herbal three-D impact via bending the sunshine. Continental is adapting this generation to be used in automobiles. The machine is deliberate for manufacturing via 2022.
