De momento es sólo un proyecto, pero cuando lo mejoren quizás sustituya a los GPS en los coches. Se trata del 'Cable Virtual'. Un sistema de navegación integrado en el coche que muestra un cable en 3 dimensiones sobre el parabrisas con el camino a seguir. Así en vez de ir mirando la pantallita del GPS, aparecería sobre el cristal. Para comprender mejor como funciona, aquí hay tres videos cortos.
Making Virtual Solid is a New Jersey company working on a product called Virtual Cable. It's a car navigation system that uses "a laser, a set of lenses, and a moving mirror mounted in the dashboard to project a 3D route-guidance line above the road ahead, as though it's actually out in front of the driver." Pretty freaking neat. It's like your car is following a red line from heaven. And hopefully that line leads straight to a seedy strip-joint, because, well, that's where I want to go. The company says the system will "cost somewhere around $400 as a factory-installed option, and can be easily interfaced with existing GPS systems."
This is the technology of the future people. I'm tired of my old screen-based GPS navigation system. It's like playing a video game -- a very un-fun video game where the object is getting to your grandmother's house for Christmas. Despite my best efforts to liven up the gameplay by running over a few street vendors, it was still lame.
Three video mock-ups of what it'll be like after the speedbump. Note: This means they're not real, just what the system will look like.
