>> (The projector system) has to know exactly where your eye is, to
position the image correctly.
My understanding is that Tesla already has the ability to program the
headrests on seats to follow the movement of the passengers heads so
to keep the cushion directly behind as a safety feature. Couple
similar technology to facial recognition, and I'm sure algorithms
could be written, if they don't already exist, to shape the angle and
perspective of the projected image to prevent serious distortion.
Such processing might also compensate for projecting the image on a
surface that isn't flat or perpendicular to the viewer's eye.
Also consider that the human brain is a powerful processor of it's
own. Present the information, even with distortion, and within a
limited amount of time, it would all make perfect sense to our, uh, senses.
The ability to perhaps add a bit of thermal imaging at night might be
a big boost as well. Make pedestrians and bicyclists stand out a
little bit more, as well as the odd wildlife getting too close to the
road outside the illumination of the headlights.
A 180 degree virtual and actual view of what's around the front and
sides of the car is brilliant! My only concern is that telemarkers
will figure out a way to add advertising to the view...
