Holographic Controls with Haptic Feedback" Head-Based Gesture Controls" We Try Them Both at CES
The original 1977Â Star Wars movie might have been the highest-profile stage for hologram technology to that date, yet in the decades since, holograms have become nothing special. So what?s the next step" The ability to manipulate holograms like physical objects, evidently. Japanese automotive supplier Denso brought this very technology to CES, along with a neat head-motion-controlled head-up display to show what might be possible in the car interior of the future. We had to put our mitts?and, uh, our heads?on Denso?s creations to try them for ourselves.
Holographic Haptic Controller Interface
Denso?s Holographic Haptic Controller is a functioning yet still conceptual system that the company says could someday be integrated into, say, a self-driving car. Denso?s projected hologram incorporates real haptic feedback (the sensation that, as you manipulate projected ?buttons,? you feel a physical response). The setup we tried consisted of three main components: a gesture-recognition camera, a projection device for the holographic ?control panel,? and an array of ultrasonic transducers. The gesture camera, located between the projector and the ultrasonic array, works much like similar gesture-recognition cameras found in, say, Volkswagen?s upcoming infotainment system or the current BMW 7-series. It discerns when a user?s finger is using one of the holographic controls. The projector, in this case an angled unit, beams a flat-appearing vertical ?panel? that appears as a...
