14-year-old girl invented how to eliminate blind spots on cars

Girls eliminate blind spots on cars by using cameras, projectors, and materials to fill column A.

The camera is mounted outside of the A-pillar on the rear seat, the recorded image is played directly inside from the projector.

Alaina Gassler, 14, from Pennsylvania, USA, participated in the Broadcom Masters competition for middle school students of the Science and Public Association. Her project is called "Improve safety in cars by eliminating blind spots" . She uses a camera, projector and projection screen wrapped around column A.

The camera is mounted outside of the A-pillar on the rear seat, the recorded image is played directly inside from the projector. The most difficult task is to adjust and position the camera so that the projection image is the most realistic, this image is only for the driver .

Alaina's idea topped the national contest with the $ 25,000 Samueli Foundation.
