Design Your Own Heads-Up Display of the Future
Heads-Up Displays, or HUDs, are what you see in front of you when you play first-person video games. You know, it shows you stuff like your health, the map and your inventory, allowing you to have all that pertinent data in front of you at all times. But why leave it for video games? Why not build a HUD into a pair of glasses or goggles, letting you have all sorts of info in front of you? Seung, our industrious NYC intern, dreamed up the above example, which looks pretty awesome (although unlike Seung, I don't need a HUD to tell me where Boobies are. Come on, Seung). Now it's your turn. More » -

Microsoft's Windshield HUD Has Lots of Info, Hopefully Never Crashes
This Microsoft patent describes a heads up user interface on windshields that shows useful information for the driver right where the eyes are. The patent takes information from cellphones, car stereos, your GPS, maps, weather, temperature, email, car instruments and probably the Zune, and places it your eyeline. Much more useful than taking a big ass table with you into the car. [Patent via Slashdot via Crave]
