Task: Increase road safety.
Trucks on the highway often difficult maneuvering of other road users when overtaking or rebuild. Continuous broadcast "Transparentius" gives an opportunity to assess the situation in the "blind zone" before performing the maneuver.
The technology allows to get the image on the panel, even in bright sunlight.
The video signal is transmitted from the camera fixed in front of the truck at the rear door panel with a projector.
Transparentius, as with most good ideas, is remarkably simple -- you jack a camera onto the front of a truck, or lorry as they're known in some places, and then project that image onto the back of your hulking transporter. The effect of this is to render the truck figuratively transparent for the driver behind, who is enriched with a lot more information about what lies on the road ahead. No word on how the rear projection is achieved or how sunlight glare is overcome, but knowing Art Lebedev, you can bet both challenges are solved in the most unaffordable fashion possible.
