Looking to add a touch of Gran Turismo or Forza to your daily commute? Jaguar Land Rover is developing a Virtual Windscreen concept that aims to do just that with a slew of driver assistance technologies designed to keep your eyes on the road, including a head-up display (HUD) that overlays the driving line featured in many virtual racers.

As well as projecting key information onto the windscreen like speed and navigation, the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen concept would also overlay the driving line and even a “ghost” car, which acts as a reference point from previous laps.

Although this may seem like a bit of fun for track-day warriors, HUD systems offer some obvious safety benefits for having key information at the driver’s eye-level.

Jaguar’s concept also extends to replacing rear view and external mirrors with cameras and virtual displays. This system would incorporate a of a “3D instrument cluster” linked to head-tracking technology that could deliver key information unobtrusively as well as giving drivers a clear picture of their surroundings.

Finally, the system would include gesture-based control for functions like sunblinds, rear windscreen wipers and maps.

Take me to the complete story . . .
