Holographic Navigation
A navigation system is consists of:
containing maps, which may be displayed in human readable format via text or in a
graphical format
determining a vehicle or vessel's location via sensors, maps, or information from external
sources
providing suggested directions to a human in charge of a vehicle or vessel via text or
speech
providing directions directly to an autonomous vehicle such as a robotic probe or guided
missile
providing information on nearby vehicles or vessels, or other hazards or obstacles
providing information on traffic conditions and suggesting alternative directions
An automotive navigation system is part of the automobile controls or a third party add-on
used to find direction in an automobile. It typically uses a satellite navigation device to get its
position data which is then correlated to a position on a road. When directions are needed
routing can be calculated. On the fly traffic information can be used to adjust the route.
What is a holographic navigation?
A hologram is a physical structure that diffracts light into an image. The term ‘hologram’
can refer to both the encoded material and the resulting image.
A holographic image can be seen by looking into an illuminated holographic print or by
shining a laser through a hologram and projecting the image onto a screen. Other methods of
projecting and reflecting images are often described as holographic – or even misleadingly
holograms, because they have an optical presence, spatial quality or iridescent colors.
While it the past it there was a clear distinction technology is evolving to create virtual
holograms by steering light into an image. Augmented reality systems like the HoloLens often
use a Holographic Optical Elements to make a video projection appear at comfortable viewing
distance. The virtual objects in augmented reality are a kind of ‘virtual hologram’
A holographic naigation can:
See what’s happening - Alerts about traffic, police, hazards and more on your drive
Get there faster - Instant routing changes to avoid traffic and save you time
Know when you’ll arrive - your ETA is based on live traffic data
Always find the way - choose from a variety of voices to guide you while you drive
