It can also vibrate for other notifications, like the distance from obstacles. Instead of looking over at the GPS system or your phone to find out when to make a left turn, the left side of the steering wheel will light up when it’s time to do so.Īs if that’s not enough, thanks to ATC, the steering wheel will also vibrate. The steering wheel also has multi-colored LEDs that light up when informing the driver of navigational information.

If an ambulance is coming up from behind you, the display will show the ambulance and the shape of an arrow indicating from which direction the ambulance is approaching as it nears. AVC turns sound patterns into pictograms that appear on a head-up display. Just like it sounds, AVC is all about the visual, while ATC is about touch. Two driving assist systems are actually being combined to make this happen: Audio-Visual Conversion (AVC) and Audio-Tactile Conversion (ATC). Hyundai’s technology uses artificial intelligence (AI) to identify sounds outside the car, which are then visually communicated to the driver. While it’s currently just a project in Korea, hopefully, Hyundai and other companies will take note of the positive reaction. Now it’s our turn: Hyundai Motor Group has demonstrated technology specifically for drivers with hearing loss. Hearing people benefit from nifty car technology, like having their texts read to them or being able to contact OnStar for support.

If the system works through Line Carrier Technology – where signals are transmitted and received by making use of the electricity circuit within the home – it will not function if there is a power cut. If the system works through Radio Frequency (RF) Technology, make sure that there are no other systems in the vicinity tuned on the same wavelength that will cause interference. you can’t have a transmitter of one brand and a receiver of another brand. You can also find portable receivers that can be carried from room to room as long as you keep within the range of the transmitter/s.īefore installing the equipment make sure that the components are compatible i.e. You need a receiver in the rooms where you would like to receive the signal e.g. However sometimes you can find a transmitter that can be used for more than one signaler e.g. You need a transmitter for each signaller e.g. There are four things to consider when installing a signaller : Thus hearing impaired persons can live more independently and they also can be alerted to danger in their environment. Such systems work by drawing your attention through light flashes, vibrations, loud sounds or a combination of all of these. a telephone call, the doorbell, baby crying, fire etc. Signallers are systems that alert you to something needing your attention e.g.
