Danew introduced navigator with a virtual screen

French company Danew has developed an unusual navigator D-HeadUp 4.5 with a function of displaying a picture on a windshield. This model is mounted on a dashboard and transmits an image (400x240 points) with routes and maps on the windshield. A user can adjust the brightness of the color with account of the general level of lightning.

The producer has provided the possibility of transferring the image in two-or three-dimensional mode. This navigator contains mapping and navigation data of Europe. There is 128Mb of RAM and a connector for external media in a format of microSDHC.The gadget runs on a processor Telechips TCC7901 with a capacity of 500 MHz.The navigation system is available in two versions: with a voice recognition device and with a remote control that is installed on a handlebar. Depending on the equipment level, the cost of a GPS-navigator will be 350 or 300 euros, respectively.

Among the disadvantages of D-HeadUp 4.5, we can distinguish the thing that the device can’t interact with a passenger and that it has impressive dimensions: it’s size is 189x110x74 mm and it weighs 400g. However, it can be explained by an innovative approach. Probably in the future, developers will improve these weak aspects.
