During a sightseeing trip, while sitting in a car, passengers will not want to take their eyes off the places they are passing by to search for information about that place on their smartphones. To solve this problem, the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of Korea has developed an AR interactive car display, Interesting Engineering reported on January 5.
AR interactive car displays assist passengers by displaying information relevant to the locations the car passes on the window glass. Specifically, each car window has an eye-tracking camera mounted above it. A transparent microLED touchscreen will cover the entire inner surface of the window glass. As the passenger looks out, the system will continuously evaluate the direction of that person's gaze.
The system uses GPS data to determine the vehicle’s current speed and geographic location, which in turn determines the specific location the passenger is looking at. Next, based on this information, the system displays a small image of the point of interest on the microLED screen. The image appears next to the actual image the passenger is seeing.
If passengers want to know more about a place, they just need to tap on the photo. The information will appear in text boxes that are placed around the passenger's field of vision, without obstructing the view.
In addition to car windows, the new technology could also be incorporated into train windows, cruise ships, or other sightseeing vehicles. In fact, ITRI has used similar technology on aquarium glass to provide visitors with information about the fish they are viewing.
