Item Description
DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY SO ADVANCED
IT FEELS LIKE MAGIC
The Navdy head-up display projects information that usually appears on an LCD out in front of the car, low in the driver's field of vision.
Navdy's transparent Head-Up Display (HUD) projects information
as if it's floating six feet in front of you. In the car you already have.
Rather than drawing power from the cigarette lighter or being hard-wired to the battery, the Navdy plugs into the OBD II port — a small plug that sits on the lower left side of the steering column on any post-1996 automobile, typically used to diagnose problems with the car. In addition to drawing power unobtrusively, connecting to the OBD II lets the Navdy display on-board data like fuel efficiency and speed, along with phone-based information such as Google Maps directions or Pandora stations.
Along with a noise-canceling microphone for voice inputs, which allows the user to use audio commands like “read latest text message,” or “share my location,” Navdy has a rear-facing infrared camera that can read motion inputs. As shown in the company’s demo video, the driver can accept a phone call with a thumbs-up, or swipe an index finger to prime the device to accept voice inputs.
The Navdy devices sits on a magnetic mount on the dashboard, and uses a small transparent screen for its projected imagery.
One advantage Navdy apps will have over phone apps is access to a car's OBD-II port. Navdy relies on the OBD-II port in a car, usually mounted under the dashboard on the driver side, for power. However, its OBD-II plug can also read data from the car's diagnostics system, letting developers incorporate fuel efficiency coaching, performance gauges, or a host of other automotive-specific features in a Navdy app. For example, a performance app could show a driver throttle position, gear, and power during a track-day session.
The Navdy unit consists of a magnetic mount with a cable running to the OBD-II port, and the projection unit. Owners will be able to easily pull the projection unit off the magnetic mount when leaving their cars. The flexible mount material molds to the shape of the dashboard, so should have minimal impact on the look of the car.
