The combination of HMI displays and in-cabin analysis in one system offers unique interaction in addition to mandatory driver monitoring features
VIENNA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–emotion3D, a leading provider for camera-based in-cabin analysis software, and BHTC, the world market leader for climate control units and HMI systems, teamed up to offer the world’s first solution that combines outstanding HMI technology with advanced driver and occupant monitoring. The system covers all soon to be mandatory driver monitoring functionalities and offers innovative user experience features.
BHTC’s display and climate control products can be equipped with cameras that observe either the driver only or the whole in-cabin space. emotion3D’s CABIN EYE software stack is used to process the video stream provided by the cameras to derive valuable information about the driver and other occupants.
Based on this information, driver drowsiness and distraction as well as sudden sickness warnings (conform with GSR and EuroNCAP) can be issued. In addition, the solution enables a wide range of user experience features such as personalization and gestures. The tight coupling of BHTC’s HMI products and emotion3D’s in-cabin analysis modules enables a unique, intuitive human-vehicle interaction.
BHTC will showcase a demonstrator at CES 2022 in Las Vegas (Jan 5-8, 2022). In case you are interested to experience a live demo, please reach out to: Jana.Mirovic@BHTC.com
