Important results from the project
The project will develop a novel and cost effective Head Up Display (HUD) technology, appropriate for deployment on a wide range of construction plant via through-windscreen projection, and a novel Head Mounted display (HMD) technology, supporting display on the helmet visor of user.
Expected long term effects
The gained result for VCE is that an head up display or an head mounted display can be very useful to support the driver in its daily work. We see clear potential in increasing the machine owners profit and gain safety in future soft functionalities.
Approach and implementation
The work was initialized by VCE providing machine specification and requirements in order to have asucessful product. PRP:s responsibility was to build the head up display and the head mounted display. Early on we agreed on the interface between the companies would be via an hdmi cable. thereby PRP could develop their units and feed it by any laptops or android units. VCE could continue their work in finding specific applications in hauler and wheel loader machines. That would suport the extra cost of an HUD and additional software and hardware
