about 95 years ago, the sun visor officially appear on the car. Since then, the solid hard object shading solutions gradually become standard equipment on cars. But when the car entered the era of electrification and intelligence, supporting business it does not seem satisfied with this. In the recent CES 2020, Bosch launched called “Virtual Visor” of the sun obscured electronic solutions, in fact, “Virtual Visor” is the virtual sun visor mean.
There is no doubt, be a virtual visor is transparent LCD screen, camera digitized original shade physical realization solutions. The principle generally, RGB camera capture the driver’s face the sun in order to adjust the shadow on the LCD screen, never reduce glare, in order to achieve the principles of traditional solid shade visor.
In the virtual electronic visor work area have at least 90 percent are transparent, which means that the driver in the vehicle was moving forward always maintain clear vision. And Bosch said the LCD screen and camera power consumption is very small, for the electrical system does not pose a burden. In the long run, if the electronic visor, is likely to end up as one and the front windshield, and even become part of the glass.
Furthermore, according to Bosch say, intelligent vehicle is a future direction, including fatigue detection, anti-theft vehicle may be used by the camera, and therefore, the virtual sun visor camera may also be shared with other devices, in order to reduce the number of parts.
Development Engineer virtual visor Bosch powertrain engineer Ryan middot; Todd (Ryan Todd), as early as 2016 he proposed this vision, inspiration from his fantasy in a car en route to the family bought a new TV since then he had an idea instead of the traditional kind of sun visor LCD screen.
