CES 2009: The hands in the heat of the sensors with FLIR BMW

Because we have thought, not onboard FLIR our plan to strengthen the BMW Night Vision in the desert of Nevada, but we have the opportunity to present the car to a panel of the screen.

Our demo is only inside, but I still have a good idea how it works. Showgoers past BMW heat sensor in the camera is very good, despite the relatively small difference in the temperature and the environment. James Jay FLIR said that the device can detect a difference of 05 degrees temperature, which in many shades of gray on the monitor.

The system, to several meters across the road and was thrown by the number of pedestrians on the customs bumper. But every time somebody went through its danger zone, the screen shows a pedestrian outliing that person in a yellow rectangle.

The demo of BMW has been upgraded with the system, but with the new BMW factory-installed version of Flash, a yellow triangle on the screen to warn the driver to take action.
