Brick,
Ford have had lane centring, cruise control for a while. But putting it all together with Seeing Machines for DMS and all of the road mapping data - that is what happened in Palo Alto.
No I made that connection at the time. We were then told that the OAX8000 did not contain Occula. Which emphasises how incredible it must be that OmniVision would effectively say that their newly launched OAX8000 was already outdated
Philtronic/S20thirty, I think it is time that you changed names again. Seeing2020's Doctor has been misreading your name and had now prescribed him Lithium for his bipolar mood swings
Perhaps the haste had to do with

Time for our mass market future. No SEYE here

Wonder who did all that work with TRI on their Guardian system?

If anyone has had enough of #MondayMotivation or #ThrowbackThursday then you could just mute them in Twitter

Apparently no self respecting social media outlet can live without them ;-)

I also like:
Seeing Machines is also looking to build on this success to grow their footprint in aviation and look to possible international opportunities.
“The technology is the same but the use case is slightly different as we change the focus from precise gaze tracking in the training environment to fatigue and attention in the ****pit,” Nolan said. “Similar to our Guardian Fleet and Backup driver Monitoring System solutions for freight and automotive respectively, we’re working on delivering an airborne solution that supports pilots from fatigue and incapacitation.
“We also continuously invest in developing features and applications that rely on a range of signals collected through eye, head, and face-tracking; gaze and attention being the more obvious ones, but also fatigue, distraction, operator condition, and cognitive workload signals.”
Good spot Ken
I like this bit
“Our engagement with RAAF was extended to a two-year contract and enabled full visibility of the capability of the technology and the utility of the output data and visualisations to all or most of the flying training units across the ADF,” Patrick Nolan, General Manager of Aviation at Seeing Machines, said to ADM.
That corner of Michigan has so many car firms that would need to validate a DMS. But my money is on Veoneer (or GM, Ford, ZF, or hundreds of other engineering/automotive firms in the area)
It is good to see valuation happening - you can't always trust the sales guys and better to turn it off, leave it out or find another supplier- than ruin your reputation on safety
Looks like just the right sort of "flickering"
You wouldn't notice it from the bland words of the patent, but for clarity, the remote vehicles in this patent would be called Reaper, Predator or Protector (someone more skilled than in might ID which one from the grainy photo. Of course, in the future it could also apply to monitoring QuadCopter drones too on 'home' soil (New Jersey in the screen that was shown). So flying via a screen doesn't give the same seat in the pants feeling as regular flying and boredom or distraction can be a problem, especially if one operator is responsible for more vehicles in the future.
Now as an aside, I did have a chat with someone senior on our side about the operators and recommended Seeing Machines. The reply, "probably something out chaps are looking at". I guess he has a stricter NDA
Shareguard, don't worry I would guess our friend is taking an imaginary holiday. In reality his master will just look up the username and password of another altereedjit. Feel sorry for MV he doesn't realise he is imaginary.
That is a stonking patent JC. It just goes to show which companies have been doing this for the longest time.
So you may appear to be awake and looking out of the front windscreen, but if you're eyes don't follow the line of the approaching curve, then you may be about to do a Tiger Woods. Same for adjusting your eyes up and down to follow the road up or down hill.
At tragic lights, it is checking that you are actually dwelling on the lights. Really sensible stuff.
A bit cryptic this one JC! I wss less confused when I pressed reply and saw the rest of the thread.
So this is the patent for the design of Nomi which is the voice controlled avatar that is the "face* of the car. The reference to Seeing Machines is about our role in the Cadillac CT6, so I presume that it plays the role of the coloured steering wheel lights to indicate if the driver is paying attention and it probably houses the camera for the DMS
Now as you will remember the Nio ET7 is a poster child for Qualcomm and will be one of the first with the new snapdragon chip and presumably a Qualcomm compatible DMS.
No one has claimed it yet...
No driver facing camera here. It uses the forward camera for LKAS to see if the driver is weaving in the lane to "detect fatigue"
Re: SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF AUGMENTED REALITY VISUALIZATION BASED ON SENSOR DATA
Wow, I wasn't expecting that from Boeing.
so 17 year olds learn to drive n a real car costing 10s of thousands with a real instructor.
You can learn to fly in a real plane with a real instructor (2 seater) but when you learn to fly large jets, you learn in a simulator with an instructor - you can't risk a multi-million airframe and the lives (or fuel).
But did you know how you learn to drive an oil tanker, container ship or a cruise ship? Yes, you could start in a little boat and learn the tides and the winds over the years and work you way up. but you wont get to captain anything soon. You can't just decide to learn how to dock in thick fog in a turning tide unless you can find the conditions and again safety and cost comes into play.
In the Navy(ies) there are the structures and career plans to ensure that many necessary skills are learned, but P&O and similar commercial organisations don't have the same capabilities. Like Airlines, they hire you with the experience and qualifications and if necessary complete your training.
There are places where you can go and learn on ship simulators (I guess Southampton) you can look out the windows and see the ships moving, the effects of tides and wind are simulated and you learn to manipulate the equipment and see how it responds. Bit like watching paint dry, but planning ahead is key as they don't stop or turn on a 6p.
Ok so what to Boeing have well kind of like a HUD, but on ships you can walk about, so they have AR that overlays the radar plots, course markings, wind and tide onto the view through the goggles. It makes it easier to see when there is a risk of collision in narrow sea lanes and if you don't spot it, the goggles will flash it up. It is less tiring because the 2d map view of a radar or navigation chart needs to be mentally transferred to the 3d scene when looking out of the bridge windows
This example is for large ships, but of course it could apply in other vehicles.
Are we involved? Well VR may not currently be our speciality, but we do merge gaze from one camera onto the view from another...
Both the Jaguar and Land Rover logos were displayed on during the Qualcomm presentations. With Jaguar appearing on the main slide where we were in the corner next to Google.
Perhaps working with Qualcomm was part of the reason that gave JLR the confidence that they could ditch their planned platform, knowing that if released, they would have the additional costs of tooling up for manufacture and long term support. Whereas the new Qualcomm platform would simplify development and support
I have nothing nice to say about this type of patent. A think tank set up to tie in every possible advancement without doing any real work themselves. Total tosh. Now the trolls will wait for real inventors to cross the "bridges" that they have scattered, so that they can claim their fees for "inventing" without doing the proper R&D to actually see what works. Good to see that the searches have brought up some previous work
