This new GPS system comes equipped with an augmented reality heads-up-display (HUD) that attaches directly to your sun visor. This laser-projected GPS micro-display, developed in collaboration with , makes it appear that your route directions show directly on top of the road, letting you keep your eyes on the road at the same time.
On top of turns, the 35-by-12-inch (90-by-30-centimeter) HUD can also keep track of any speed-limit warnings, lane rules, your proximity to the vehicle ahead, and any other information relayed from the Bluetooth-equipped camera that clips to your rearview mirror. The camera also streams a live-view picture to a more traditional GPS LCD screen and super-imposes even more map information.
The Cyber Navi system will be released in Japan come July with two models 2 AVIC-ZH99HUD (¥300,000 or $3,755) and the AVIC-VH99HUD (¥320,000 or $4,006), which comes with a fancier screen that rises up to the dashboard. New tech is expensive tech after all. There is no word of a US release as of yet.
