New App Brings Augmented Reality HUD to Your Windshield
Augmented reality is the next big step for personal computing. Adding information overlays for life has a lot of practical applications, especially if you can avoid fiddling with your device while on the road. And now we can say "there's an app for that."
Hudway works by reflecting light from the display off of the windshield and into your eyes. It uses Google maps and it allows you to set up a route, attach it to the dash, and then the directions appear automatically.
For the time-being, the display only works at night and in similar low-light conditions. The demo videos are surprisingly impressive, but if you're planning on picking it up, you may also want to invest in a dashboard mount so the expensive bit of tech can safely sit where it needs to. Oh! A charger might be wise as well (screens being the power-hogs they are).
It's called 'Hudway'
On another note this looks like another incremental step towards automated cars ^.^
just search google play for "HUD".
they only work well at night.
for daytime driving i use iOnRoad - it uses the camera and warns you if lane drifting or approaching something too quickly (eg. if someone brakes suddenly)

You mean velcro and some super glue...
Or duct tape i suppose, duct tape solves everything
Though a little flashing headline "The lane you are in is EXIT ONLY" may cut down on people driving like idiots....may....
I don't see this going very far. All you really need is a reflective sticker on the windshield, available from just about all windshield replacement shops (the GM's with HUD have a reflective layer built into the windshield which most replacements don't have - hence the need for the sticker) and a display driver to reverse the display image. Google Navigation already has a black & white type mode which is the one I prefer anyways.
Value - 99 cents IMO.
he isn't driving off road. He is driving in the proper way you should drive on that kind of track at that speed. If you don't drive like that on those terrains, you will be flipping your car back to it 4 wheels 90% of the time.
