Smart Information. Safer Driving. Glass Becomes the Interface

Transparent display and sensing solutions integrated into mobility platforms

Mobility platforms are rapidly evolving into connected digital environments where safety, information, and interaction must be integrated seamlessly into the vehicle architecture.

Transparent surfaces such as windshields, side windows, and interior glass are becoming key interfaces within modern vehicle interiors. They create new opportunities to present driver information, integrate sensing functions, and enable intuitive interaction without increasing interior complexity.

ZEISS Microoptics develops optical solutions that integrate display and sensing functionality directly into these transparent surfaces, transforming glass into interactive interfaces for new user experiences within mobility platforms. This allows driver information, Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), and passenger interaction to be embedded into the vehicle architecture while preserving design freedom and interior space.

By transforming conventional glass into functional optical surfaces, transparent structures become interactive interfaces for information, sensing, and passenger experience within modern mobility platforms.

Mobility Applications

Driver information, intelligent monitoring, and passenger experience

Driving becomes safer and more intuitive when essential information appears directly where drivers need it. At the same time, sensing functions integrated into transparent surfaces support intelligent monitoring, while passengers experience new forms of digital interaction during the journey.

ZEISS Microoptics develops optical solutions that extend transparent surfaces with display functions, sensing capabilities, and passenger-facing functionality: 

Driver Information. Transparent display systems integrated into windshields present essential driving information directly within the driver’s field of view, supporting situational awareness without requiring drivers to look away from the road.

Passenger Interaction. Transparent display integration within side windows and interior glass enables passenger information, entertainment, and contextual interaction throughout the vehicle cabin.

Interior Sensing. Optical sensing systems embedded within transparent surfaces allow camera functions to be integrated invisibly into vehicle interiors. This approach supports applications such as Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) while preserving clean vehicle interior design. 

Windshield Display

Transparent display systems that present essential driving information directly into the driver’s field of view. This supports intuitive navigation and situational awareness without requiring drivers to look away from the road, while additional content can be provided for co-drivers to create immersive in-vehicle experiences.

Rear-Seat Entertainment

Transparent display solutions integrated into side windows or interior glass surfaces that provide passengers with personalized information and entertainment while remaining invisible from the outside. This creates new interaction concepts for passengers, from contextual travel information to immersive entertainment experiences within the vehicle cabin.

Transparent Camera

Integrated sensing systems embedded within transparent surfaces that support Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS). The optical integration enables interior sensing functions without visible hardware while preserving clean vehicle interior design.

Supply Chain and Ecosystem

Industrial collaboration for scalable mobility integration

Modern mobility platforms are evolving into connected digital environments. OEMs must balance safety, brand identity, and cost efficiency while introducing new driver and passenger experiences across different vehicle concepts.

We provide the proprietary ProSight, our scalable holographic technology platform, which forms the foundation for integrated display and sensing solutions across mobility applications.

Our ecosystem approach connects concept development, optical mastering, replication technologies, glass integration, and system integration to support reliable industrial deployment across modern mobility platforms.

  •

    Complete development chain from optical concept design to industrial integration

  • Scalable manufacturing processes suitable for large-volume mobility programs

  • Industrial readiness for series production

  • Scalable, holographic technology platform adaptable to different mobility concepts

  • Coordinated supply chain supporting global automotive customers

Transforming micro-optical innovation into scalable mobility solutions requires more than technology alone. It requires a coordinated ecosystem that connects design, manufacturing, and integration across the entire value chain
