JVC Kenwood Corp have taken the wraps off a navigation system that incorporates a heads-up display (HUD).
Set to go on sale in Japan later this month, the system uses a curved optical screen and projector which clips to the rear-view mirror and also includes more traditional LCD display.
The HUD display is configured to show turn information and junction details but it's questionable if the location of the screen, next to the rear view mirror is the best place for this. The main safety benefits of a heads-up display are keeping the drivers eyes on, or close to, the road.
In factory fit HUD systems, the display is normally above the instrument panel, projecting the image so that it appears suspended above the bonnet.
