Head Up Display[HUD] For Cars

   Using your smartphone while driving is uncomfortable and not safe too. When you focus on your phone you can't focus on the road. But with the new technology introduced by Navdy you can use your phone while driving as well. You can use navigation, make calls, receive calls and sms with Navdy while driving.

  
   Navdy interacts with your smartphone (iphone or android phone). Navdy's transparent Head-Up Display (HUD) projects information as if it's floating six feet in front of you. HUD is any transparent display that presents data without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints.  Although they were initially developed for military aviation, HUDs are now used in commercial aircrafts, automobiles, computer gaming, and other applications.

  You can use your smartphone while driving for directions with voice based navigation option. But you can't look on the screen and road at a time. Now with Navdy device you can get directions visually infront of you with its HUD.

   It takes touch less gestures to control your phone like., swipe left to answer / swipe right to cancel a call. It takes voice recognition. Ask Navdy to "compose new tweet", "write new text" or "call mom" using the voice commands you're already familiar with - Google Now or Siri. Navigation won't disappear when a call comes in.
