BHTC and emotion3D collaborate on an integrated HMI and driver monitoring solution

emotion3D and BHTC teamed up to offer a solution that combines outstanding HMI technology with advanced driver and occupant monitoring. The system covers all soon-to-be mandatory driver monitoring functionalities and offers innovative user experience features.

BHTC’s display and climate control products can be equipped with cameras that observe either the driver only or the whole in-cabin space. emotion3D’s CABIN EYE software stack is used to process the video stream provided by the cameras to derive valuable information about the driver and other occupants.

Based on this information, driver drowsiness and distraction, as well as sudden sickness warnings (conform with GSR and EuroNCAP), can be issued. In addition, the solution enables a wide range of user experience features such as personalization and gestures. The tight coupling of BHTC’s HMI products and emotion3D’s in-cabin analysis modules enables a unique, intuitive human-vehicle interaction.

BHTC will showcase a demonstrator at CES 2022 in Las Vegas.
