Smartphone Apps on Your Car’s Windshield via Projector

A company called Navdy is now offering a neat product that can project apps from your smartphone onto your windshield.

The San-Francisco-based tech firm’s projector also features an infrared camera that allows inputs to be made via hand gestures so you don’t need to fiddle with the phone while driving. Gestures such as a thumbs-up or finger swipe can tell the unit to answer calls, read texts or change apps. Voice commands are also available.

“We think this is the first time head up display technology has been combined with touchless gesture recognition, and also a real head up display that works in cars offered on the market”, Navdy chief executive Doug Simpson says. “There’s kind of a lot of things that we’ve had to pull together, and the combination of those things really creates a magic experience that’s far better than the individual pieces.”

You can pre-order a Navdy today from $299, but in 2015 when it hits stores it will be $499.
