IMUZAK’s CES 2022 Exhibit to Showcase Driver Warnings that ‘Pop Up’ from Steering Wheel

Tiny device embedded in steering wheel can make any messages appear in mid-air.

 

LAS VEGAS (Dec. 29, 2021) – At CES® 2021, IMUZAK, a Japanese nanotech startup, will unveil its 3D free-floating display system that enables driver warnings to “pop up” in mid-air from the steering wheel. The system comes in the form of a 2.8-inch monitor, embedded in the steering wheel, and can send out any messages. Making this possible is IMUZAK’s proprietary microlens that can be placed directly in front of a source image to create a compact imaging system for tighter space – a feature that makes IMUZAK’s system unique compared to all conventional ones that require bulkier setups and more space.

The company will demonstrate the system in real-time online upon request, as it’s exhibiting digitally only during CES 2022.

IMUZAK’s microlens also lets source images through with a 98 percent clarity — compared to as low as 10 percent with some brands — resulting in exceptionally bright, high-resolution images with wide-angle viewing. The technology can be applied to create an “air-floating” car dashboard, as well, to make a good portion of the physical dashboard space available for other purposes.

“The superb performance of our microlens is the direct result of IMUZAK’s patented nano- coating technologies. We’ve already successfully created a floating display for ATM machines, as well as an ‘air-floating’ speaker,” IMUZAK CEO Kazumi Sawamura said. “IMUZAK’s display technology has a wide range of potential applications, and the sky is the limit. We cannot wait to demonstrate our capabilities at CES 2022.”

IMUZAK’s Exhibit Online: Jan. 5-8
