“It’s a clever innovation using technology that at this point is relatively cheap and readily available…”
It happened to me last week! I left the house when it was cloudy, so I didn’t bring sunglasses. And then by the time I was driving home, BLAMMO! Sun in the eyes!
“Instead of a rigid panel wrapped in fabric, Bosch’s Virtual Visor features an LCD panel that can be flipped down when the sun is hanging out on the horizon. The panel works alongside a camera that’s pointed at a driver’s face whose live video feed is processed using a custom trained AI to recognize facial features like the nose, mouth, and, most importantly, the eyes. The camera system should recognize shadows cast on the driver’s eyes, and it uses this ability to darken only the areas on the LCD visor where intense sunlight would be passing through and impairing a driver’s vision.”
This awesome tech could make any car from any year a whole lot safer! Check out the original article here.
Would you spring for one of these visors?
