Nissan is gearing up for the upcoming Consumer Electronic Show next week in Las Vegas, for which it has lined up an innovative concept called Invisible-to-Visible or I2V. The manufacturer says that the new tech will help drivers 'see the invisible' behind a building or around the corner by merging information from both the real and virtual world. Nissan has said that the I2V will open possibilities for service and communication, making driving more convenient and comfortable. Created through Nissan Intelligent Mobility, I2V will demonstrate the future of driving to CES visitors through an interactive, three-dimensional immersion experience at Nissan's display. I2V will support drivers by merging information from sensors outside and inside the vehicle with data from the cloud. This enables the system not only to track the vehicle's immediate surroundings but also to anticipate what's ahead - even showing what's behind a building or around the corner. The system includes a friendlier and interactive method of guidance, such as through avatars that appear inside the car. I2V is powered by Nissan's Omni-Sensing technology, which acts as a hub gathering real-time data from the traffic environment and from the vehicle's surroundings and interior. Nissan's SAM (Seamless Autonomous Mobility) technology analyses the road environment through relevant real-time information, and the ProPILOT semi-autonomous driver support system provides information about the car's surroundings. The technology maps a 360-degree virtual space around the car to provide information about things like road and intersection status, visibility, signage or nearby pedestrians. It can also monitor the people inside the vehicle by using interior sensors to better anticipate when they may need assistance with finding something or a coffee break to stay alert. I2V can also connect drivers and passengers to people in the Metaverse virtual world. This makes it possible for family, friends or others to appear inside the car as three dimensional, augmented-reality avatars to provide company or assistance.
