/PRZWT/BEIJING, Nov. 27, 2024 - The importance of driving safety is self-evident. Studies have shown that when drivers look away from the route ahead during driving, the probability of accidents increases significantly. The development of HUD (head-up display) technology has provided drivers with a convenient way to view critical information without looking away, providing new solutions for improving driving safety. Augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD) has taken this a step further, blending the display with the real driving environment, greatly improving driving safety.
Building on HARMAN Automotive's technology and insights into the automotive industry, HARMAN announced the launch of Ready Vision, a combination of augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD) hardware and augmented reality (AR) software products to enhance driver safety and attention. Ready Vision's AR software integrates with automotive sensors to provide drivers with timely and accurate information through audio and visual alerts without affecting driving.
The launch of Ready Vision and Ready Vision QVUE products is of great significance to the realization of HARMAN's vision of "consumer-grade experience, automotive-grade quality". "When passengers look around the cockpit, they are no longer surrounded by cold machinery, but a new experience that seamlessly connects with consumer electronics, which is what HARMAN continues to strive for," said Liu Yuzhan, senior vice-president of HARMAN Automotive Asia Pacific.
Harman Ready Vision breaks down the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds by visually displaying steering guidance for the line ahead on the windshield, enhancing driver perception of driving information. Ready Vision also provides high-precision collision warning, blind spot warning, lane departure warning, lane change assistance and low-speed zone reminders through 3D object detection through computer vision technology and machine learning.
In addition, the Ready Vision QVUE product from HARMAN Automotive offers superior visual performance and superior product size. QVUE provides the right information in the right place, minimizes driver disruption, enhances driving engagement, delivers high-brightness images in a variety of lighting conditions, and offers product size and functionality flexibility. QVUE provides the driver with critical information such as mileage, speed, driving data and alerts clearly under the windshield, making it easy to read without obstructing road views and providing a wide field of view for all occupants in the vehicle.
This value-for-money, HDR-rated reflective display features Samsung Neo QLED technology for a superior high-resolution display with vibrant colors and superior optics. By partnering with the state-of-the-art third-party app on the HARMAN Ignite Store, users can get key information from the QVUE display, including ChargePoint's low battery warning and The Weather Channel's severe weather alert.
For automakers, QVUE offers modularity and scalability, from replacing traditional gauges to display specifications in different sizes throughout the front compartment. The Vision Ready AR HUD is designed to be flexible and high-performance, combined with a unique, space-saving and wedge-free design that is not tied to specific hardware and navigation, while adding 3D object detection and multi-sensor data fusion technology for precise positioning and extremely low latency performance.
Ready Vision augmented reality software incorporates artificial intelligence, combining depth perception with real-time visual information such as traffic, 3D navigation, and hazard alerts to enhance drivers' environmental awareness. In addition, through partnerships with ChargePoint and Mavi.io On My Way ™ Commerce, AR HUD provides drivers with turn-by-turn navigation to EV charging stations and online pick-up restaurants.
Harman Automotive has always been committed to technological innovation in the automotive field and provides industry-leading solutions. The development of Ready Vision products conforms to the trend of automotive technology development. Relying on HARMAN Automotive's deep expertise, strong technical force and core advantages, it brings "consumer-grade experience and automotive-grade quality" to consumers. Looking to the future, HARMAN Automotive will continue to bring more personalized, intelligent and seamless in-vehicle experiences to automakers and consumers, safeguarding the safety of drivers and passengers in the car.
