Digital Mirror Augmentation White Paper

Bridge the gap between digital coverage and human intuition.

Camera-based mirror systems offer superior coverage, eliminating blind spots and improving aerodynamics, but they often struggle with a critical trade-off: users find them unintuitive as the images do not naturally follow the driver's line of sight like the reflective mirrors people are used to.

Neonode's Digital Mirror Augmentation software is the solution. It restores the natural, intuitive interaction of traditional mirrors by adjusting the view on the in-cabin display based on the driver's head position. This dynamic, head-motion-based system ensures that objects of interest are always presented, while leveraging the comprehensive coverage of the wide-angle camera.

This innovative approach significantly enhances both usability and safety. For passenger cars, it provides a familiar, fluid experience that allows for better judgment of distances. For commercial trucks, the driver can simply shift their position to dynamically focus on a trailer's rear end, simplifying monitoring during curves and reversing maneuvers without cumbersome manual adjustments. By using natural, established human behavior patterns instead of new controls, the system also achieves a significant reduction in the driver's cognitive load.
