Hello

Thank you for your email.

The MicroHUD product will be sold as an installed feature of future cars. This is necessary because the windshield is a critical part of the optical system, meaning installation requires careful alignment. Also, the windscreen needs to be of the "wedged" variety in order to reduce any ghost reflection due to the laminated nature of standard windscreens.

Having said all of the that, the MicroHUD display is completely reconfigurable -- just like any computer display. Personally, I am looking forward to one day have a MicroHUD in my car simply to have an easy-to-read display of music and other information broadcast on satellite radio.

Regards, Russell

Subject: More information...

Many of us are playing with integrating computers into our vehicles (The carPuter concept). Are you planning on selling the unit and drivers separate from the PC control unit? This way we can load the software onto our already built carPCs and use your display as a way to display our vehicle and music information.

All and all, a very cool idea.

but that is for the evaluaton kit not just the hu display

**krystar** · 10-04-2004, 04:04 PM

don't you guys think it'll be easier just to put a ultra wide lcd screen in the dash rather than a HUD? like 10:1 aspect ratio screen.

HUD is nice but come on. 100g's for it?

**Marsupial** · 10-04-2004, 07:05 PM

maybe a graphics VFD on which you display reversed information??

**mushin** · 10-04-2004, 07:34 PM

A VFD or LED display might work nicely. Actually, I've seen a commercial aftermarket HUD system for cars that did basically that. Forget what it was called though - I bet a little googling would find it.
