CNet: General Motors and several US universities are working on a next-gen head-up display that could soon bring augmented reality to a car windscreen near you.
Unlike traditional head-up displays (HUDs), which only project data onto a small portion of the windscreen, the Enhanced Vision System uses the entire surface of the windscreen as a canvas. Cameras, radar sensors and night-vision imaging systems scan the road ahead, while a laser beams images onto a phosphor-coated windscreen that can emit visible light.
