MicroVision, Inc., a leader in innovative ultra-miniature projection display technology, is pleased to recognize and congratulate Pioneer Corporation on its introduction of a new CYBER NAVI Car Navigation System for the Japanese market.
The product incorporates MicroVision’s next-generation HD PicoP® display technology based on direct green lasers (PicoP® Gen2) to offer drivers a new way to experience data on the road.
According to a recent press release issued by Pioneer, its Carrozzeria CYBER NAVI has always pursued a spirit of innovation and industry leadership to create new value. The CYBER NAVI, the world’s first head-up display (HUD) to project augmented reality information in front of the windscreen and the world’s first onboard HUD to use lasers, now has new “Smart Loop” eye information sharing service. A recent Engadget review of the product described the enhancement for drivers as “giving them a crowdsourced glimpse of any trouble that lies ahead.”
The display engine based on PicoP® display technology embedded in the CYBER NAVI HUD delivers bright, clear, full-color images viewable in daylight from a small form factor with low power requirements. Pioneer’s video demonstrates how the driver’s augmented reality experience is aided by the brightness of the projected display achieved with PicoP® display technology.

Pioneer was the first customer under MicroVision’s “Image by PicoP®” ingredient brand business model, and the CYBER NAVI HUD was the first commercial product based on MicroVision’s PicoP® Gen2 display technology when it debuted in Japan in July, 2012. The product was also one of the first to use direct commercial green lasers.
