Book excerpt: This title examines head-up display technology (HUD) and its application in the automotive industry. With the recent trend toward higher-speed mobility, as typified by the plan in Japan to build a second Tomei expressway linking Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, there is a need for more complex and accurate navigation or route guidance systems. In addition, older drivers, whose vision may be declining, must be able to obtain the necessary information for safe vehicle operation. The author demonstrates that HUD, originally developed for weapons targeting in fighter planes, is ideal for meeting these future automotive navigational and social needs. As HUDs become a standard automotive feature this work will be an important reference to this rapidly developing technology.
