Hudway: navigator and a projector for your car
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
One of the reasons why I love iOS, is that in it there are really cool projects, which have no analogues on other platforms. So while Hudway is exclusive to the "apple" of the platform and look, not afraid of the word, innovation.
Appendix Hudway obscenely simple, but the idea - brilliant. In fact, this is the usual car navigation and unusual projector "in one bottle." But first things first.
If the first question should arise - a given route, building a location map and go, in the second paragraph should elaborate. Projector - this, of course, an exaggeration, but in general, are reflected correctly. After building the route we pass in the navigation mode, and where the fun begins.
Those who are fond of video games, will be immediately clear: in popular games, for example, Need for speed, when you drive on the highway, is displayed in the navigation of the screen - a line through the middle that "wags", until you heading. Likewise, it is working in Hudway Navigator application. It seems to do with the projector here? And it's simple: put your smartphone on the dashboard, the windshield, and the image is reflected from a smartphone on it.
See it all really futuristic. Of course, now in the cars already have similar systems that are built initially, but the price of a car is also quite decent. And with such an interesting "chips" using Hudway application can have any iPhone owner.
The app is free, but has a built-in purchase, for example, advertising off and additional markup for the browser. If you do not want to give hard-gotten at your disposal 5 minutes of testing.
In addition, there is one drawback. I think you already knew how. Unfortunately, because of the design features of the car, not everyone can be positioned windshield of your smartphone. And our roads need to think in advance about how best to secure the unit to prevent it from falling. From software disadvantage is the lack of mapping of intersections on the forks, since it is not always clear exactly where you should turn.
But you must admit that the idea of the application is gorgeous and simple. Looking at Hudway and similar programs, one wonders how such an idea has not occurred to you yourself.
