Nissan I2V (Invisible-to-Visible)

2018: Announcement

At the beginning of January of Nissan presented the I2V (Invisible-to-Visible) system which helps drivers more comfortably at the CES 2019 exhibition and more safely to drive the car by means of augmented reality.

The technology collects and analyzes data arriving from internal and outside sensors (including set on other cars) and also information which is stored in a cloud service. Thanks to it a system controls a situation around the machine and predicts that it waits for it along the line. For example, she will prompt to the driver that there are round the corner buildings or behind the next turn, and will output hints about road signs, pedestrians, traffic jams, etc. At the same time recommendations will be made "in an interactive and "human" manner, for example, using avatars which appear in the car", note in Nissan.

The Nissan cars will be able "to see" round the corner buildings and turn

On it the functionality of I2V is not limited. A system monitors a status of the driver and will recognize fatigue then it recommends to it to stop driving and to have a rest.

Also the I2V system connects drivers and passengers to other people in the virtual metauniverse. Family members, friends or other persons appear in the car in the form of three-dimensional avatars of augmented reality to help you or to keep the company, says Nissan.

Will help with the mode of the autonomous movement I2V to the people who are in salon more pleasantly and more interestingly to spend transit time: for example, at the movement in rainy weather in salon it is possible to create the atmosphere of sunny day. On arrival to the unfamiliar place a system can contact the guide who will communicate in real time with people in the car.

The company notes that the technology is developed to work not only with traditional, but also unmanned vehicles. At the same time the Japanese producer does not call a specific implementation time of development in the machines.^[1]
