Video: Hands-on with Delphi's dual-view nav system

Dephi's press image for its dual-view nav screen was ridiculously janky, so we sent Mahalo Daily's Veronica Belmont over to investigate -- and it's pretty awesome. Check it out after the break!

What!!?!? WOah!! That's cool!! HAHA!!

[Kei @ Jan 9th 2008 2:25PM]

whaddayo, it works :P

This is very cool tech. But seriously, does someone in the passenger seat really need to watch a movie in the car? I know if I was driving I'd rather converse with my passenger rather than have them shush me every time my road rage acted up. :-)

[TJ @ Jan 9th 2008 2:40PM]

I'd watch a movie if I was passenger, especially if the driver is Nimrod.

[TJ @ Jan 9th 2008 2:41PM]

a Nimrod*

(I guess I'm one)

[tkulla @ Jan 9th 2008 2:30PM]

Oh, and I need "anti-peek technology" here at the the office. :-)

You guys need to go ahead and add a veronica belmont tag...this is just getting out of hand. To all of you horny toad that can't keep from commenting on the woman instead of the gadgets...it seems like you'd be more interested in what the Mandalay Bay Hotel is offering this week.

[Jeff @ Jan 9th 2008 2:36PM]

yeah, how long until we have the first fatal accident blamed on the passenger saying "hey, look at this!" and the driver leaning way over to the passenger side to get a view?

this is a recipe for disaster.

[Maneki Neko @ Jan 9th 2008 2:50PM]

Hm, and hear I was thinking that it seems totally overboard going to the trouble of including sensors in the seat to detect when the driver is leaning over to peak. Maybe there is a market after all for individuals paying additional money for fancy electronics to enable their electronics to play Big Brother with them.

Verison 2.0 will have anti-crash technology.

[Golferal @ Jan 9th 2008 2:58PM]

I saw this last year at CES. There was a substantial "screen door" effect. It wasn't unusable, but it was very noticable.

[StalkerZERO @ Jan 9th 2008 3:00PM]

@Bigd
teehee veronica is cute! :D

[Jose El Maton @ Jan 9th 2008 8:31PM]

Veronica Belmont IS very cute...

Holy shit, a cat!!!

[kaztm @ Jan 9th 2008 3:38PM]

Stop putting the reporter's picture. Why should we look at that face in RSS when there is more relevant picture/video?

[Ipoplikearobot @ Jan 9th 2008 3:42PM]

A:She is Hot
B: She is Hot
C: That is really cool
D: She is hot

[IrishGandalf @ Jan 9th 2008 3:37PM]

I lol'd! so true!

[JohnnyGTO @ Jan 9th 2008 4:00PM]

What no Hands-on Veronica jokes?

[park @ Jan 9th 2008 5:36PM]

I don't get it... If it's in park, why can't the driver watch the movie too? Anti-peek seems to defeat the whole purpose.

[DarkStarPDX @ Jan 9th 2008 7:09PM]

God, I need a way to filter out Veronica Belmont from the Engadget articles! She seems friendly, but she doesn't come across as a very serious technology journalist. The recent CES videos make her come across as extremely annoying...

[eric @ Jan 9th 2008 9:51PM]

Anti peek technology!!!

[Seth @ Jan 10th 2008 9:20AM]

Can the video be watched by the driver when the car is parked?
What is the anti-peek technology - e.g. what does the driver see when they try to peek over vs what the passenger sees?

[Jasper SHI @ Jan 11th 2008 12:04AM]

very cool technology, very cute girl!
