Dude, Just watched it and thats sooo cool !!!!!!

Call me later and let me know how to set it up in the car......

Ted I will call you later today.

Ok, no problem. I will be here..........

outstanding really impressive. A, idea of the price of this baby? I mean the futur version with working gauge

great work

Just watched it, it's awesome! How does it work?

Thanks!
Unfortunately I don't think this item will be for sale for liabilty reasons.

3 diffrent wavelength, infrared lasers, scan each guage onto a rotating mirror that projects onto a clear holographic treated lamintate that 'catches' the image on the clear film using a 3 color wavelength sensitive process similar to making holographic plates for darkroom processing. (Like a silver emulsion process but with microscopic nano sized geometric shapes (bucky balls) instead of a silver grain gelatin emulsion.)
These are screened on using a type of retrofitted printer.
This film is then applied to the windsheld the same way window tint would.
The result is a clear viewable windsheld with properites of an opaque white projection screen that makes the image bright and clear and the lasers create infinite contrast becuase the blacks are truly black becuase it shuts off the laser on the non lit areas of the display.

I understand but If change your mind keep us posted^^

we are adult here we won't play star wars with the laser beam ^^

That sucks. The laser HUD is exciting! Are you still planning on building the holo gauges? I was reading about them on Champion Mustang and it sounds like you retain the stock gauges too. I can't wait to see those as well.

Hmm infrared... Smart thing! Is the film applied to the whole windshield or just the part you need?
Cheers

It can be done either way.
The whole windshield is what I am doing for more data display area. (Video screens and such)

Wow, video screens! I didn't know it was possible to do something THAT complex with a scanning laser...

Pretty cool huh?
A total of 9 lasers scan the windshield and display pertinent data across the whole of it.
The 9 lasers are capable of displaying HD video as well.

HD video with 9 lasers? You gotta be kidding lol... When you tell me this I think "why the heck are people hyping LCDs and plasmas having this?"
It's sooo cool
