Fleet & vehicle integration
HoloGlass by Pranos
Integrated HoloGlass display systems.
Need more than our standard HoloGlass system? Whether you need more power, fleet integration or specific features, tell us what you have in mind. We’ll work with you on the complete system — optical engines, window surfaces, hardware and software.
For advertisers, fleets, taxis, transit, brands and vehicle makers.
Built on our own IP
A patent portfolio covering our hardware, software and safety technology, plus our own software and pending trademarks.
Use cases
Every fleet uses its windows differently.
From one concept vehicle to a fleet, the display needs to fit how you operate. We scope the complete system around your vehicles, your audience and your goals.
Advertisers and ad fleets
Ads all day, across every vehicle
You need ads that show in daylight, on many vehicles, run from your own campaign dashboard. We build brighter, built-in systems that connect to your ad platform.
Vehicle manufacturers
A display that belongs to the vehicle
It has to be designed into the glass and the electronics, and go through your program's validation. We bring film sealed inside the glass, an optical engine designed in, and our engineering on the display side.
Taxis and passenger fleets
Vehicles that carry passengers
A HoloGlass unit on a mount needs the back seat empty, and your vehicles carry people. We design built-in versions for vehicles that carry passengers.
Public transport and government
Information people outside can read
Vehicles that run every day, under the rules of each place they serve. We build the display into the vehicle, with controls set for the rules where you operate.
Brands and events
One vehicle that stops people
A show, a launch or a dealer event. We build show and concept vehicles with a professional shop, including glass that switches from clear to screen.
Upfitters
A partner on the display side
Your customers ask for window displays. You handle the vehicle side, and we bring the window display design, the software and our engineering time.
One team, end to end
The complete system. Built around you.
We develop the optical engines, glass, mounting, power, controls and software as one system. Your vehicle layout, operating conditions and display goals shape the configuration. Design and validation are scoped for each project.
Optical engines, hardware and glass
Optical engines create the picture. We design their placement together with the window screen or smart film, mounts and power, around the space in your vehicle and the display you want.
Embedded systems and software
The software on every HoloGlass unit, the Pranos HoloGlass app, which works anywhere, no internet needed, and Pranos AI, which makes and edits signs from a chat.
Connected to your systems
The API built into our HoloGlass hardware can connect to your ad platform, campaign dashboard or fleet software. We connect to what you already run.
Built for where you operate
Tell us where your fleet runs and the rules it has to follow there. We build controls into the hardware and software to match: for example, when the screen can show, what it shows while driving, and who can change it.
Fitted by professionals
Built into each vehicle by film installers and vehicle wiring specialists, scoped with you.
Support that continues
Ongoing technical support is included with every integrated system.
Your requirements, your vision
Tell us what you need and where you're headed. We work it through with you and design the best fit for your vehicles, how you use them and your budget.
We can also carry out research and development for your specific setup when needed, with the scope agreed together.
You control the transparency.
Choose transparent or fully opaque. Transparent lets you see through the window; fully opaque provides the display surface. The HoloGlass optical engine creates the picture from inside the vehicle, seen from outside.

Fleet projects, internationally
Projects with fleet operators internationally, and builds with brand and event teams, upfitters and vehicle manufacturers.
Partner projects can build on our IP under a written agreement. Details are shared under NDA.
How we work together
From your idea to a signed agreement.
We're a small, focused team, so every project gets a clear scope before any work starts.
-
Share your idea
Your organization, your vehicles and what you want the windows to do.
-
Scope it together
The vehicles, the windows, the system, the work and the price.
-
Sign an agreement
Scope, price, timing and IP terms in writing. Details are shared under NDA.
-
Build and support
We build it with you, and technical support continues after.
Who we build with.
Start with one vehicle, one window and an idea.
-
Vehicle manufacturers
Smart window displays in a future vehicle concept.
-
Specialist upfitters
A professional fitted approach for the vehicles and customers you know.
-
Fleet, advertising and brand teams
Fleet vehicles that advertise, and branded experiences.
-
Public transport and government agencies
Windows that inform people outside the vehicle, for transit systems, cities and public agencies.
What to know
What we design around.
Smart film and vehicle glass have real limits. These are the ones we plan for in every integrated build.
Daylight
Daytime visibility depends on the optical engine, screen, glass and ambient light. We assess brightness and contrast for your operating conditions as part of the project.
If the power fails
Most smart film turns white with no power, and some kinds turn clear instead. We choose the film and design the controls for each build with that in mind.
Screen first, then the picture
The window has to be in screen mode before the picture shows, so it lands on the screen and doesn't go out through clear glass. We design that order into the controls.
Clear isn't bare glass
Smart film adds a layer: expect a slight haze at some angles and less light through the window, more so over factory tinted glass. On some vehicles the window may pass less light than some rules ask for, even in clear mode.
Getting out in an emergency
Film stuck to a window can hold broken glass together, and a panel covers the window from inside. That matters if someone has to break this window to get out or get in, so we plan which windows get film with that in mind.
Heat and long shows
A parked vehicle gets very hot, and film and electronics have limits. Some film makers advise against leaving it on continuously, so we plan for the heat and show times where your vehicles run.
Check your local rules
Rules on film and screens differ by place, by window and by type of vehicle, in clear and screen mode, and some apply to the shop doing the work. Check your local rules: every build starts with a look at the rules where its vehicles run.
Driving
Driving means a still image, and video plays only while parked, the same as every HoloGlass.
Back seat rule
Back seat empty while HoloGlass is mounted. Before anyone rides in the back, take the HoloGlass unit down. It sits near head height, and in a sudden stop or crash a passenger could hit it. This applies to every mount, including the roof glass.
The HoloGlass unit on its mount needs the back seat empty. For taxis and other vehicles that carry passengers, we design built-in custom versions.
Questions
Integrated HoloGlass systems: questions.
What does an integrated system cost?
Pricing depends on the vehicles, window configuration, quantity and integration requirements. We agree the scope and price with you before work begins.
Do you work with fleets?
Yes. We already work with fleet operators on projects internationally: advertising fleets, dealer lots, brand events and business vehicles.
Can it work in daylight?
Daytime operation can be a project requirement. We evaluate the optical engine, screen and glass together, then validate visibility in the intended conditions.
What is smart film?
A thin film with liquid crystals inside, so you control the transparency. With power, the crystals line up and the film looks clear. Without power, they scatter light and it turns white. That white state is what catches the HoloGlass picture. Some films work the other way around.
Can it go on a window that rolls down?
Yes. The video at the top shows smart film on a window that rolls down and back up.
Can you build it into new vehicles?
Yes, with the vehicle program. A factory version means film sealed inside the glass by a glass maker, controls and wiring designed into the vehicle, and the vehicle program's own validation. We bring the display side, the software and our engineering time.
