Smart car windows display information about roadside points

South Korea AR interactive car screens integrated into car windows help passengers understand the location they are seeing without having to look it up on their phones.

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.

The AR interactive car display helps passengers by displaying information related to the places the car passes by 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 location, they can simply tap on the photo. Information will then appear in text boxes that surround the passenger's field of vision, without obscuring their 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.
