An optically based prototype customizable display integrates telematics, video and common controls to enhance driver information.

Tim D. Pryor Jr., Digital Dash Ltd.

One problem with using display technology such as LCDs to relay necessary information to a driver is that some controls benefit from or even require physical knobs and dials. These can be difficult or impossible to integrate with some types of displays. However, a control interface called the reconfigurable tactile display from Digital Dash Ltd. of Montreal incorporates real knobs, buttons and sliders onto a screen for the driver’s display (Figure 1). Software-driven, electro-optically based, it employs a solid-state camera to project an image from behind the dashboard onto a screen for...Read full article

    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
