On the sidelines of the CES 2020 event, Bosch unveiled a transparent LCD screen called Virtual Visor inspired by LCD TVs, which replaces the car's default sunscreen, replacing the plastic piece with a transparent LCD screen.
Sun visors are an essential piece of auto equipment for any driver, but they often block and block visibility from the road, and Bush believes that the traditional feature needs to be renewed, as the sun glow is responsible for thousands of car accidents every year, which prompted the German company to re-imagine a condom The traditional sun to help solve the problem.
Virtual Visor consists of a single transparent LCD panel and a driver-facing camera, which uses an artificial face detection and tracking software to determine where the sun glows on the driver's face.
The algorithm analyzes the driver's field of vision and makes the protective section through which light collides with the driver's eyes dark using liquid crystal technology, while the rest of the screen remains transparent, as it does not block the driver's field of view, as does traditional sunscreens.
"You can drive your car and the sun in front of you and you will still be able to see enough," Jason Zink, one of the project's engineers, said. Technology.
Bush cited studies that included a study by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicating that the glare of the sun is responsible for thousands of accidents each year, while another study indicated that the risk of a car collision is 16 percent higher when the sun is shining.
Bush said: The traditional sunscreens are not enough because they prevent a large area of field of vision in order to remove the glare, and the company clarified that it is in discussions with car manufacturers about marketing the new condom, and it will likely take between 3 and 5 years at least before we see Product in new cars.
