With cars going through makeovers and transitions in both exteriors and interiors, the dashboard’s only seen slight variations in carvings and style on the road to modernization. Now researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich-Hertz-Institute in Berlin have developed a new car dashboard that’ll function as a 3D display showing velocity, engine speed or warnings in three dimensions, that’s what’s modernization in actuality.
Offering a whole range of useful functionality, the 3D dashboard display has user-selectable features, whereby drivers can individually pick their own type. Permitting the user to choose the way he needs the information to be displayed, allowing him to save the preferences, the display with modular design shows only information most important, like low-fuel warning, tire pressure etc., to the driver when it is required.
Two cameras are used by the system to now where the driver’s eyes, so that the super-imposed images generate the full 3-D effect, displaying information that can be viewed without the need of 3D glasses. The dashboard display will be put out on exhibit at CeBIT in Hanover from March 3 to 8.
