Virtual Screen in Windshield From Jaguar and Land Rover


London - Jaguar Land Rover shows the results of a research project that doubles the functions of the glass. In addition to being protective, glass is also used as a virtual screen. This is intended to minimize the driver looked down to see the instrument panel or dashboard screen.

The focus at this time, to implement these technologies for the race. "Display" on the glass will display the "racing line" best, race position, speed and gear position. As if inspired racing game, drivers can also see the ghost car (car image) showing the position of competitors.

"Shows a picture virtually makes the driver more accurately control the speed, distance, and getting better in terms of decision making. Another advantage, giving positive feedback for everyday driving, "said Jaguar Land Rovers Director of Research Dr. Wolfgang Epple.

In normal road conditions in urban areas, this system can also be used to replace the rearview mirror inside the cabin. Glass can be used to show the danger in front, showing the speed, can even show the direction of the GPS.

The British company earlier this year also showed another revolutionary technology, the camera under the car for use in off-road route. Not clear, when Jaguar Land Rover will apply the technology developed as an option or mandatory devices in its products.
