Abstract

A unique visual navigation system for car drivers is introduced in which important information is projected onto a windshield head-up display (WHUD). The display area of the WHUD is actually the whole windshield. A prototype WHUD on a real vehicle was installed and a new navigation system was realised that can display direction and distance to a destination as visualcues. The primary advantage of the system is that the driver needs littleeye movement to see them. The cues are easy for drivers to recognize because the sign position for the destination on the WHUD directly indicates the orientation toward it. A GPS and a geomagnetic sensor are used to estimate the vehicle's location and orientation, and data from these are used to move the navigation signs on the WHUD according to the vehicle's movements. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134653.
