HARMAN International (NYSE:HAR), the premier connected
technologies company for automotive, consumer and enterprise
markets, and WayRay, a Swiss headquartered pioneer in Holographic
AR displays, announced a collaboration to develop a wide view angle
full windshield heads-up display proof of concept for the
automotive market. WayRay, a pioneer of holographic AR displays for
the auto industry, specializes in innovative use of holographic
optical elements that enable an augmented reality (AR) projection
system that is significantly more compact than traditional mirror
and lens based projection technology and allows for high-resolution
projection in direct line of sight of the driver particularly for
ADAS applications such as augmented navigation.

Outputs from this collaboration can be fully-integrated into
HARMAN’s end-to-end automotive connected car platforms that make
the autonomous driving experience intelligent, safe and intuitive.
HARMAN’s end-to-end compute platform leveraging the HARMAN LIVS
suite of integrated technologies (Life-Enhancing Intelligent
Vehicle Solutions), will transform the driving experience making it
more powerful, productive and protected.
WayRay technologies allow the widescreen to be a new medium for
information. An augmented reality solution, it is the first
solution to use true holographic technology and deliver
contextually relevant information to drivers and provide engaging
entertainment for passengers simultaneously.
“HARMAN’s collaboration with WayRay is another example
of our relentless drive to deliver seamless, integrated,
connected and safer experiences in the car,” said Phil Eyler,
president HARMAN Connected Car. “As the leader in the connected car
space, HARMAN is committed to driving innovation across the
industry to deliver on the needs of automakers and their drivers
and passengers.”
“Holographic displays offer the opportunity to make self-driving
vehicles safer and more reassuring for passengers,” said Vitaly
Ponomarev, CEO and Founder, WayRay. “By providing visualizations of
what is happening around the car, how it's riding and relevant POIs
along your route, passengers are kept fully informed about the
drive, even if they're not actually driving.”
