The automotive holographic assistant EyeDrive is designed to reduce the risk of accidents due to the use of a smartphone while driving. The new gadget will display the most important data from mobile applications directly on the windshield.
One can see the music player, the navigator, and even the image of the phone contact when there is an incoming message or a phone call. The new product can be controlled with the help of voice assistants designed by Apple or Google, depending on the smartphone the user has. Simple swipe gestures are also supported. To interpret them, there should be installed an infrared sensor that detects movements in the car. With the help of the new item, one can change the volume of the music, decline and receive calls, or navigate through the EyeDrive menu. The sensor functions for 500 hours without recharging from the built-in battery.
The EyeDrive kit is complemented by an equally autonomous parking camera. This gadget is protected from water. It has a built-in wireless module that allows you to broadcast the image directly to the base module projecting it. In order to maximize the brightness of everything displayed, a special transparent film is stuck onto the glass. Thanks to its reflective surface, the image becomes “readable” under any conditions and in the bright sun.
The EyeDrive gadget can be purchased on Indiegogo for $199. If the kit includes a motion sensor, the cost will be $269. The option with a parking camera will cost $349.
