Current 2D windshield head-up displays can lead to driver distractions due to a shift of gaze from the road towards a small area of the windshield. Customizable mixed reality real-time head-up displays can increase safety in transportation due to the holographic road obstacles being aligned with the road scene. Based on accelerated parallel processing algorithms, a 4K spatial light modulator, virtual Gabor lenses and a He-Ne laser, 3D holographic road signs appear within 1.15 seconds in the driver’s gaze on the road.
Key words: Mixed Reality / Liquid Crystal on Silicon / 3D Computer-Generated Holography / Head-Up Displays / Automotive Applications
