Holographic Technology: Samsung Submits Patent Application for VR Eyeglasses To Display Turn-by-Turn Navigation for Drivers

The global market for automotive AR & VR solutions is expected to reach about $673 billion by 2025 according to Statista, with a compound annual growth rate of 175%.

Electronics company Samsung came up with a unique solution that may one day help drivers for more safety navigation. The company applied for a patent recently for a pair of virtual reality (VR) glasses that projects turn-by-turn navigation directly onto the lenses in for the driver.

The glasses work like the head-up-display (HUD) in some vehicles that displays information, such as the current speed, directly on the windshield in front of the driver. Instead of projecting the information onto the windshield, it can be sent to a pair of virtual reality glasses that the driver wears while they are navigating a route.

One more interesting startup in holographic technologies is WayRay. WayRay, a holographic display company which has primarily focused on created augmented reality (AR) screens for the automotive industry is at CES 2020 in January 2020 to showcase its latest product, a full-colour display. On top of this, WayRay has revealed new efforts to expand its product offerings into new markets.

Vitaly Ponomarev, WayRay Founder and CEO, explained that in 2020 their Holographic AR Display is updated with an addition of a blue laser, offering a complete RGB experience.

The second collaboration is with Doosan Bobcat, an engineering and manufacturing company which creates compact construction equipment like the Bobcat loader. WayRay wants to add its Holographic AR HUD to Doosan Bobcat equipment, offering operators more information to operate the equipment more efficiently and productively.

Startup Technology - The Startup, Ceres Holographics, Trying to Revive Holography

Armed with a digital mastering technology, Ceres Holographics, claims that its Holographic Optical Elements (HOE) hold the key to enable car OEMs and Tier Ones to design a Head Up Display(HUD) dreamed of since the 1980s. The automotive industry has been itching for a transparent display that can display navigation information on the windshield, sparing the driver the distraction of looking away from the road.

Ceres is confident that its holographic technology can overlay bright, wide field-of-view information onto a curved windshield, using a significantly smaller projector package than anyone has previously been able to develop.

Ceres is rolling out its HOE technology in two phases applied to two separate products. First will come a “Transparent Display” (TD) based on a simpler projector. The second will be an “Augmented Reality-HUD” (AR-HUD) with a fancier projector. For both products, Travers told EE Times that Ceres has OEMs and Tier Ones already testing the technology, with some in final testing. Travers envisions the production of cars with TD to start in 2022 or 2023, with cars with AR-HUD to follow a year later.
