How does this differ from the HUDs currently on offer by high-end manufacturers? It sounds either identical, or less useful. Am I missing the point?
Also, my Toyota Yaris claims to have a 'holographic' dash display. In reality, it's nothing more than a load of LEDs and a mirror, retro-arcade style. It hasn't improved my life in the slightest.
I'm curious to see what the current HUDs look like. Could you give me the name of one of the manufacturers that use them now. This will help me start my search.
I'm certain that Mercedes, Citroen, Nissan (in 1989), Oldsmobile (in 1992) and others also use this tech. Finally, heres a video of a kit which can be retro-fitted to your car, the DEFI HUD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCJR8oLAJJs&feature=related
