Augmented reality glasses, which are expected to become widespread in the future, are planned to be used in all areas of our lives. A patent that has now emerged shows that car giant Toyota can take such a step.

Toyota has revealed in an application to the US Trademark and Patent Office that it wants to bring augmented reality (AR) glasses to cars. The patent, which shows that the head-up display (or HUD for short) feature that we see in current vehicles can change with these glasses, was noticed by CarBuzz.

Glasses are intended to solve problems that arise by adjusting the light that enters

The overall goal of the patent, which also focuses on blocking light to provide a better view of the device in all conditions, is to increase safety and usability. As is known, HUD, speed, etc. transmits information to the windshield. However, this technology has distraction issues as well as some limitations. Toyota also thinks it can solve them with augmented reality.

Sunlight can be a challenge for drivers while driving and may prevent information projected onto the glass from being clearly visible. Of course, this can pose similar problems for augmented reality glasses. At the same time, turning on the high beams at night can cause similar problems. New patent, in the vehicle by adjusting how much light enters aims to solve these problems.

According to the patent, these problems are also used in the auto-dimming interior mirror. electrochromic glasses can be solved via If it works, AR glasses could even replace the sun visors we see in every car.

Important information about the vehicle can be displayed through the glasses

patent, title cameras, speakers, headphones He also says it could include things like: Saying that the cameras can track what’s going on around them by working with the cameras in the vehicle while monitoring eye movements. On the other hand, AR glasses give the driver a also important information will provide. These can be things like being able to display road signs and speed limits directly, detecting pedestrians and cyclists. This information can be displayed with both audio and video.

There is no limit to the functions that can be shown on the information display. It may be possible to see information through glasses in many areas, from finding a parking spot to navigation. Glasses also display media information, possibly on the phone or in the car. This can cause some potential problems.

How secure the header is is an important question mark

Trying to read a message as it arrives could cause an accident. Or headphones or speakers, to hear outside sounds. by making it difficult can produce unwanted results. If Toyota really develops this technology, it needs to find ways to solve potential problems. So are drivers more be careful will need. Of course we don’t know how long that will be.

Finally, the question of what size the glasses will be. Looking at the patent images, we see that we will not see a heavy and large design in most glasses today. Toyota probably looks like traditional glasses with a light and unobtrusive hood it looks like it’s coming.

Toyota’s augmented reality glasses It is unclear whether it will produce Such patents do not always appear in real life. However, the recent moves by car giants in this area strengthen the ability to produce the product. For example, Chevrolet recently filed a patent for an augmented reality powered windshield display. BMW was also preparing to take AR steps in the same way.
