Many years ago I was at a car expo, checking out some of the latest technologies. I remember entering a Mazda and seeing a small piece of plastic, popping out from the dashboard, just in the driver’s field of view. The guy from the stand explained that it’s a head-up display (or HUD, as I found out later), which projects information the driver needs.<\/p>\n
Basically, that little piece of transparent plastic was showing the speed, the average fuel consumption and some other data I can’t remember.<\/p>\n
A few years passed and I’ve come across a news article from CES 2018, saying that cars can now come with an augmented reality HUD, which is an improved variant of that little piece of plastic I saw some time ago.<\/p>\n
Let’s find out more details about this thing…<\/p>\n
At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, an augmented reality company from Switzerland, WayRay, showcased a new in-car heads-up display, with a totally unique approach, compared to what I knew until then.<\/p>\n
