Features
Biometrics technology realizing safe and secure transportation
- DMS*1 featuring contactless heart-rate sensing technology incorporating near-infrared camera. Face-tracking technology*2 continuously tracks driver's face movements. Body surface temperature is measured with a sensor.
- Analysis of heart rate and body temperature enables system to diagnose driver conditions such as fatigue, drowsiness, sudden sickness, etc.
*1Driver Monitoring System
*2Face-tracking technology determines eyes, nose and mouth positions using camera images
Innovative human-machine interface facilitates communication both inside and outside vehicle
- Speech-separation technology distinguishes voice commands from other verbal conversation in the vehicle, recognizing who utters voice commands and when based on camera images and audio signals*3.
- Wide crossed-image display combines floating 3D images and holographic visual effects while a ring-shaped knob on a display simplifies operations using various via GUIs. Both help realize intuitive operations for enhanced user experiences.
*3Smart, natural HMI technology for smart mobility
