3M HMI applications

  • Now you can place sensors where you need for optimal driver monitoring performance, while still delivering a flawless occupant experience. Place infrared sensors where they work best—for your design and for their performance—while hiding them completely with the help of 3M™ Camouflage Films.

  • Achieve best-in-class brightness, color and design flexibility with 3M Head-Up Display solutions. Our array of optical films provides optimal visibility in most lighting conditions and cover the right area so you can improve thermal management, reduce energy consumption and provide a wider viewing angle.

  • Create the cockpit of the future by optimizing driver and center information displays to empower visionary cabin designs. 3M display films amplify and recycle light, increasing brightness, color and power efficiency. They also reduce driver-distracting reflections. All to give you optimal design flexibility and functionality.

  • Make the rear view mirror way more than just a mirror. Make it a full-width, fully-integrated information display. 3M™ Reflective Polarizing Films let you design eMirror applications with seamless transition between an electrified backlit state and the passive reflective state, giving you the highest clarity and visibility in a broad spectrum of conditions.

  • Enhance the user experience inside the cabin and gain flexibility to create a complete and immersive environment. Solutions for solar management, information displays and driver monitoring are designed to deliver a comfortable, safe and optimized ergonomic experience.


Hear from Jim Sax, Vice President of Research and Development for Automotive Electrification at 3M, about how HUDs are paving the way to ADAS

  • Headshot of Jim Sax, Vice President of Research and Development for Automotive Electrification, 3M

    The Human to Machine Interface (HMI) is undergoing a technological boon in automotive design, with Head-Up Displays (HUDs) poised to take over the windshield. HUDs were born in fighter jets. Pilots needed critical information at a glance while flying — hence the term, "head-up." Once the province of premium enthusiasts, HUDs may soon become standard issue, just as back-up cameras are today.

    "I believe HUD is one of the critical technologies to embrace as the future moves towards more autonomous vehicles, playing a vital role in reducing driver distraction, and providing a safer mobility experience."
