Jaguar Land Rover is developing a Virtual Windscreen concept that aims to do just that with a slew of driver assistance technologies designed to keep your eyes on the road, including a head-up display (HUD) that overlays the driving line featured in many virtual racers.</p> <p>As well as projecting key information onto the windscreen like speed and navigation, the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen concept would also overlay the driving line and even a "ghost" car, which acts as a reference point from previous laps.</p> <p>Although this may seem like a bit of fun for track-day warriors, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140716100958/http://www.gizmag.com/garmin-portable-hud-navigation/28195/" target="_blank">HUD systems</a> offer some obvious safety benefits for having key information at the driver's eye-level.</p> <p>Jaguar's concept also extends to replacing rear view and external mirrors with cameras and virtual displays. This system would incorporate a of a "3D instrument cluster" linked to head-tracking technology that could deliver key information unobtrusively as well as giving drivers a clear picture of their surroundings.</p> <p>Finally, the system would include gesture-based control for functions like sunblinds, rear windscreen wipers and maps. Rather than having to search for buttons on the dash, the idea is that drivers could simply wave at the gesture-sensor with a range of 15 cm (5.9 in) to operate particular functions. Of the three tech concepts in development, this is the one most likely to appear in production models in the near term, with Jaguar claiming it could be on sale "within the next few years."</p> <p>Below is Jaguar's video detailing how the Virtual Windscreen concept would work.</p> <p>Source: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140716100958/http://www.jaguarlandrover.com/gl/en/" target="_blank">Jaguar</a></p>  <div class="article_video"><iframe width="530" height="298" src="//web.archive.org/web/20140716100958if_/http://www.youtube.com/embed/FeK9IkSD_nI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> <span class="title share_bar">Share</span> <div id="article_share_bar" class="dotsontop share_bar"> <div class="as_button fb_as_button"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/jaguar-land-rover-virtual-windscreen-concept/32930/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false"></div><script type="text/javascript">_ga.trackFacebook();</script></div> <div class="as_button"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140716100958/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag">Tweet</a></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/jaguar-land-rover-virtual-windscreen-concept/32930/"></div></div> <div class="as_button stumble_as_button"><iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140716100958if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gizmag.com%2Fjaguar-land-rover-virtual-windscreen-concept%2F32930%2F" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-2"></iframe></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20140716100958oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/jaguar-land-rover-virtual-windscreen-concept/32930/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/jaguar-landrover-virtual-windscreen.jpg" data-description="Looking to add a touch of <em>Gran Turismo</em> or <em>Forza</em> to your daily commute?

I subsequently discovered that the sports car involved had only recently been lovingly restored by the driver. He undid all his hard work in a matter of milliseconds, killing himself and his girlfriend as he did so. The lorry driver was 'only' shaken by the experience. Had it been a fully occupied family saloon, or people carrier, the death toll would have been much higher. </p> <p></p> <p>The worrying aspect of this item is that it yet again displays the fact that the car industry is out of touch with reality.
