Developed the first augmented reality display for transportation

The technology, developed by researchers from the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford and

University College London (UCL), based on lidar, is a technology for obtaining and processing information about distant objects using active optical systems that use the phenomena of absorption and scattering of light in optically transparent media. 

Based on the lidar data, holographic images of ultra-high-definition road objects that are seen are createddriver. 

According to data collected from streets in central London, holographic images appear in the driver's field of view according to their actual position, so they createThis can be especially useful when objects such as road signs are hidden behind trees or trucks.The new development allows you to see literally through obstacles. 

Using lidar, the researchers scannedMalet Street, a busy street in central London. Millions of impulses were sent from several positions along Male Street. The lidar data was then combined with the point cloud data to create a 3D model.

In the future, the researchers hope to improve their system by personalizing the layout of the head-mounted displays.
