Continental, in collaboration with trinamiX, has introduced an innovative display solution that monitors passengers’ vital signs through invisible sensors. This innovative Invisible Biometrics Sensing Display, which has earned a CES Innovation Award Honoree title, will be featured at CES 2025 in Las Vegas from January 7-10.
The system integrates a near-infrared camera and an eye-safe laser dot projector behind a high-resolution OLED screen, allowing for contactless monitoring of vital parameters such as heart rate. It also helps identify potential medical emergencies or stress in the driver. The display features 3D distance mapping for enhanced airbag deployment and verifies seat belt usage, ensuring safety during travel.
TrinamiX’s biometric imaging expertise powers the technology, which also tracks the driver’s distance to the cockpit. Pavel Prouza from Continental highlighted that this invisible sensor integration opens new design possibilities for vehicle interiors, enhancing user experience while boosting safety. Continental will showcase this and other innovations at its private CES exhibit, marking a major step in the future of automotive technology.
