Hyundai is teaming up with German optical giant Zeiss to develop what they call a “Holographic Windshield Display.” What that means, the company’s announcement says rather excitedly: “The entire windshield becomes a full-display screen!”
“Imagine navigation and driving information unfolding like a panorama across the wide, transparent windshield where the driver’s gaze rests,” Mobis officials said in a news release. “Passengers next to the driver watch movies or other videos on the vehicle’s glass. While viewing the latest video, a video call comes in, and a friend’s welcome face appears in the corner of the glass screen. This dream technology, previously existing only in movies or advertisements, is about to become reality.”
