Hyundai Mobis Unveils Holographic HUD

Hyundai Mobis unveiled its ‘holographic windshield display’ technology, which transforms the vehicle’s front windshield into a transparent display, at the world’s largest tech event, CES 2025. The key feature of Hyundai Mobis’s new holographic windshield display technology is that it transforms the vehicle’s front window into a transparent screen, without additional device. That means, there will not be any display devices placed in the driver’s and passenger’s seats, but instead, all kinds of content, including driving information, navigation and music playlists, will be vividly displayed at the bottom of the front windshield. From the outside, it looks like a transparent glass window, but it presents a clear display for the driver and passengers even in bright outdoor environments through high brightness and color reproduction. https://www.ledinside.com/news/2025/1/2025_01_09_07

Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Hire – While most of us have heard the term artificial intelligence, few could predict the explosion of GenAI technologies in the public sphere over the last two years. In the work setting alone, Microsoft and LinkedIn reported that “75% of knowledge workers use AI at work” and “66% of leaders say they wouldn’t hire someone without AI skills”.                 

So how did this all happen:

1956, August: At the Dartmouth Conference, researchers discuss creating machines capable of intelligent behavior and the term “Artificial Intelligence” is introduced.

2017, June: Google researchers introduce the Transformer architecture, the foundation for generative AI (GenAI) models. (GPT = Generative Pre-trained Transformer)

2022, November: OpenAI unveils ChatGPT, a conversational GenAI model, marking a tipping point in public access and accelerated adoption.

2024 NOW: Commercialization is accelerating. Globally, the GenAI solutions market is expected to exceed $50 billion by 2028 with over 60,000 GenAI companies already doing business (Horban, 2024).  The biggest tech/communications companies are all involved in a very big way to drive and influence our lives now and in the future with their GenAI models:

  • OpenAI’s ChatGPT
  • xAI’s Grok
  • Google’s Gemini
  • Microsoft’s Copilot
  • Anthropic’s Claude
  • Apple’s Apple Intelligence
  • Meta’s Llama
  • Coming: Orion by OpenAI 

Plan for your future, because that is where you are going to spend the rest of your life. Mark Twain
