Mercedes-Benz to offer SPLITVIEW technology

Future Mercedes-Benz luxury class models will offer a new SPLITVIEW technology which will benefit both drivers and front seat passengers.

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class which is scheduled to hit the market in the summer of next year will include this technology.

The new technology works by allowing two different images to be shown simultaneously alongside each other, this means that a driver can view their satellite navigation system, while the front seat passenger can relax and watch a film on the eight inch screen.

There is no danger of the two images mergeing together as a filter masks the display, this ensures that images can only be viewed through sitting in a set position and the pixels allow only one image to be witnessed by each person in the car.

The driver is able to select their desired image through the dashboard, while the passenger will need a remote control to switch between DVDs, television channels or music. Passengers also have the added benefit of enjoying their selection through the use of headphones if they wish, this will ensure the driver is free to concentrate fully on the road and not be distracted by the passengers choice of entertainment.

Buyers of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class could also benefit from seats that offer a high level of opulence and comfort.
