Automotive glass has long served as an invisible, protective barrier designed to be seen through, not noticed by drivers. However, modern advancements in vehicle autonomy, connectivity, and augmented reality (AR) are rapidly transforming how drivers perceive the glass they look through every day.

AR technology enables real-time visual overlays projected directly onto the windshield, enhancing occupants’ perception and situational awareness. These informative graphics elevate the windshield’s critical safety role by alerting drivers to hazards and providing essential data—all while keeping their focus on the road.

This presentation will examine practical use cases of AR-integrated laminated glass for automotive windshields, offering an outline of current technologies as well as a look at emerging innovations. It highlights the synergy between an ancient material and cutting-edge technology, whereby making the invisible, visible.
