At this year’s Beijing Auto Show, part of Huawei’s Qiankun technology conference, the company debuted a new car headlight platform that integrates a full-color projection system for both safety features and recreational fun.
The new XPixel platform has been upgraded from its previous iteration, which was only available in monochrome, to now feature full-color projection that can throw a 100-inch picture onto a wall or projection screen. According to Huawei, this is the first time full-color projection has been adapted into automotive headlights.
While this novelty could turn any place into a private drive-in movie, demos at the show showed how the technology can also project arrows onto the road to help drivers navigate. Other use-cases shown at the show included the projection of games, as well as graphics that synced up with any music being played.
Huawei says that the new XPixel platform will be shipping with the next generation of the Aito M9 electric SUV.
