Mercedes-Benz develops a holographic display for the windshield
Mercedes-Benz is working on a holographic display as an alternative to in-cabin screens. The system uses a projector and a transparent film laminated into the glass with holographic optical elements that reflect light and keep the image visible even in direct sunlight. The brand presents it as a possible replacement for passenger screens and current heads-up displays. Prototypes seen at its Sindelfingen (Germany) facilities still show fan noise, lower resolution than a touchscreen and image distortion.
