Panasonic augments driver safety with new HUD tech

At CES 2022 Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of America unveiled AR HUD 2.0 (Augmented Reality Head-Up Display 2.0), the first system to include a new, patented eye-tracking system (ETS).

If you've ever thought about what exists beyond the limits of a HUD and the small rectangular box it displays on the windshield, welcome to the world of AR. And note that AR is not VR, Virtual Reality; VR is a space in which headsets or special glasses allow the wearer to experience a 3D world that doesn't exist except in this technology. It's increasingly used in automotive interior design.
