Japanese firms Nissan and NTT DOCOMO are field-testing the car manufacturer's Invisible-to-Visible (I2V) technology in a NV350 Caravan at its proving ground in Yokosuka. The prototype is equipped with an invisibility cloak that can be used to hide from radar or infrared sensors on either side of the vehicle. Family, friends or others in a remote location can appear inside the car as three-dimensional, augmented-reality avatars to provide company or assistance. For the Yokosuka pilot, DOCOMO’s high-speed, low-latency 5G technology will wirelessly transmit avatar and other data into the vehicle in real time.
