An intriguing prototype with a lot of rough edges.

    It’s notable that commercial jets have this sort of thing but it limited to a small panel that you can look around.

    As long as it’s not distracting & disturbing for the driver i support this, bc sometimes it’s annoying to see infotainment system

      Absolutely. Having things like the fuel gauge & speedometer within my field of view as I’m driving means I don’t have to look down / away from the road to check.

      HUDs are something I thought would be gimmicky but it’s actually really useful. Eg. for navigation it can show you where/when your next turn is without having to take your eyes off the road. It works really well in my experience.

    Would I give up my car free lifestyle for windshield augmented reality that makes it look like I’ve got Mad Max as a crucified hood ornament? No, but it’s an excellent try.

    Some C level: what if we made it show ads for business physically around them?

      Will those screens fail safe? If the hud fails it can be turned off and the windshield is unobstructed.

      Seems like a much more expensive method compared to a simple projector. Also, a screen would still display a HUD. A HUD isn’t a technology, it’s just a means of displaying information.

    Looks interesting, but it will probably need to be way brighter for daytime use.

    Eye tracking is a no-go for anywhere with bright snow in the winter time where you need sunglasses, or in the summertime and need sunglasses.

    I could see it being useful someday.
