Apple have a patent for an Augmented reality windscreen.
"In another news by Patently Apple, the Cupertino giant has filed a patent for an augmented reality windscreen that would turn a car windscreen into a large HUD (Heads Up Display).
According to Apple, the technology would work along with other sensors fitted in the car such as infrared cameras, ultrasonic sensors, depth cameras, GPS, radar devices and light beam scanning devices. The content would be overlayed on the windshield and would not block the driver’s view.
Maps would be displayed on the screen for better navigation and FaceTime video calls between cars could also be received on the screen. FaceTime would further help drivers communicate visually while driving.
“In some embodiments, an augmented reality display system included in a vehicle enables visual communication between an occupant of the vehicle and a remotely located user, including an occupant of a separate vehicle,” Apple writes.
"The patent application also includes Panicky Occupant Detection feature that would monitor the driver’s stress level by analyzing their body posture, body temperature, eye movement, eye blink rate, body gestures and heart rate. The recorded data would be displayed on the windscreen as per some factors."
Looks like Samsung & Apple going in the same direction with Apple including a health monitoring twist.
Re battery power. Phone just needs to be bigger.
