Before going a long journey, it’s essential you can see the road ahead and know where you’re going. Head-up display technology works with both of these ideas in mind to enhance the driving experience.
Head-up display (HUD) is a form of augmented reality that presents data on a transparent display in a way that users don’t have to look away from their usual viewpoints. It was initially developed for military aviation as far back as the 1950s, displaying altitude, speed and even targeting systems on the front of the cockpit. This allowed pilots to receive information at eye-level by looking forward with their head positioned “up", instead of having to look away at another piece of equipment.
HUD systems are becoming increasingly available in production cars on their windscreens, and usually offer speedometer, tachometer and navigation system displays.How does head-up display work?
