Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure relate to a system in a vehicle for reducing oncoming light. The system includes a windshield. The system includes a sensor installed in the vehicle to detect a light from an oncoming light source. The system includes a wave cancellation unit to generate destructive interference light based on the detected oncoming light source and project the destructive interference light into the windshield.
Claims20
A system in a vehicle for reducing oncoming light, comprising:
- a windshield;
- a sensor installed in the vehicle to detect light from an oncoming light source;
- and
- a wave cancellation unit to generate destructive interference light based on the detected oncoming light source and project the destructive interference light into the windshield.
A method for reducing apparent oncoming light in a vehicle, comprising:
- detecting, via a sensor, oncoming light;
- and
- generating, via a wave cancellation unit, destructive interference light based on the detected oncoming light.
A wave cancellation apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- a sensor communicatively connected to the processor;
- and
- a light generation device communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is to cause the light generation device to generate a destructive interference light in response to detecting an oncoming light in sensor data from the sensor.
