AR HUD
Augmented Reality Head-Up Display
CES 2021 Innovation Awards Winner
Introduction – AR HUD
Introduction – AR HUD
FIC AR HUD design is a kind of projection device, which uses optical projection technology to project ADAS info, navigation, speed limits, car speed, traffic warning to drivers’ fields of views in commercial vehicles, trucks, and economic vehicles. Drivers can move their visions from the dashboards on the front road, that make drivers to keep their sights focusing on the road safety rather than bowing head down to obtain car information.

Feature of FIC AR HUD
Compared AR HUD with other Head-up Display
Compared with the usual Head Up Display. HUD Display (2013~2018) displayed as 2D flat, lacking depth perception and obstructing the view of real objects ahead. The W-HUD (Windshield-HUD/2017~2019) features virtual image size that is not large enough and it is no augmented reality to enhance the real world fit. Due to the lack of brightness and contrast, the image is relatively fuzzy on the windshield. The AR HUD solution provided by FIC, with its AR real-world integration, merges virtual images with reality without obstructing the road ahead, offering a safer and more efficient driving experience.
CHUD Display Features (2013~2018)
Features of Combined Head-up Display
– 2D plan visual
– Display: car speed, time, incoming calls, navigation
– Uses TFT- LED panel
– Small virtual image
– Poor brightness and contrast
– Lack of distant perception
– Icons will back the front view
– HUD volume : at least 20 liters
WHUD Display Features (2017~2019)
Features of Windshield Head-up Display
– Uses TFT- LED panel or DLP Projection
– Virtual image not big enough
– Poor brightness and contrast
– Doesn’t integrate to the front view, lacking of AR visuals
– Imaging is too small
– Difficult to see through the AR background
– HUD volume : about 20 liters
FIC AR HUD Display (2019~Now)
How does the AR HUD improve vehicle driving experience
– High Contract & Brightness (sunlight readable)
– Single & Double-Projection Design
– FOV Range: 6-20 Degrees
– VID Range 3-25 M
– Volume Range: 4L-20L
– Low Power Consumption
– Base on ADAS
– 7 algorithms design on road status mapping
– See through virtual images without blocking views
– Indicates important road safety messages
– Main Stream Tech After 2024
– The portal of metaverse
Non-Replacement Technology
Six advantages of LBS solution
– Best Display : Image quality of AR HUD in multi scene (day and night)Need to solve: brightness, color, clarity, contrast, ghosting… etc. LBS(LASER Beam Scanning) The Best Solution
– No Need To Focus : The presentation of virtual imaging distance and image size depends on adjusting the optical design angle and sensing elements, while the volume is the smallest without focusing design.
– Precise Graphic : High contrast (80000:1) clear and accurate imaging recognition: such as user icons, people, traffic lights, scenes, etc.
– High Contrast : High contrast resolution and virtual animation makes it easy for drivers to distinguish real scene from virtual reality.
– Compact Size : The integration technology is very difficult, so it is necessary to effectively integrate the information software and hardware into the limited space (VID 3M 4L, VID 5m 6L, VID 7m 10L).
– Cost Effective : There is no need to design images for car windshields in order to match cars, and which can save the cost on customized the windshields.
Projection Distance
AR HUD provides wide image and long-distance projection
The distance and range of virtual image are affected by different projection angles. The virtual image distance of traditional HUD is about 2 meters. FIC AR HUD has a virtual image presentation angle (FOV) of 6-20 degrees and an image projection distance (VID) of 3-25 meters. The car drivers can see the Augmented Reality Head Up Display Design message is suspended in front and actual road conditions, reducing the time for drivers to shift their eyes to the car screen and the road, and reducing the possibility of accidents.
The solutions provided by FIC can be applied not only to automobiles, but also to commercial vehicles. AR HUD was highly recognized by international judges for its innovative design, engineering characteristics and application characteristics in the CES Innovation Award in 2021. In the same year, AR HUD won the IIA International Innovation Award of Enterprise Asia. Having won international awards and certifications for many times represents that FIC AR HUD’s innovative technology leads the development trend of automotive head-up display.
The AR technology developed by FIC is not only meant to be applied for Head-up display function, but also design on purpose to become one of the key portals into in-vehicle Metaverse. With Augmented Reality and Holographic projection technology in autonomous vehicle, combining with the real world and the virtual images together, drivers or passengers can easily enter the Metaverse world just by stepping in the car and without wearing any headsets, which bringing an unlimited innovation and creativity to the scenes in the future vehicles by connecting with the IoV (Internet of vehicles) and AIoT (AI Internet Of Thing) to launch a new experience of driving revolution.
