There’s a new augmented reality (AR) app for the iPhone, called Augmented Driving, that turns your dash-mounted iPhone into a heads-up display (HUD) for your car. It’s one of the coolest implementations of AR that we’ve yet seen for the iPhone, but it’s also quite possibly the most pointless augmented reality app as far as driving aids are concerned. Good thing for Augmented Driving, when it comes to technology, sometimes it doesn’t have to serve a useful function in order to be a cool piece of tech. Case in point – an iPhone app that visually and audibly warns you when there are cars ahead and when you’re changing lanes. The app is called Augmented Driving, and it’s designed to work as a HUD for your car. Some of you out there may be familiar with HUD systems in fighter jets like the F22 Raptor or the nostalgic F14 Tomcat (Top Read More

Let me preface this post by saying that I'm an old fuddy duddy. imaGinyze (US$2.99) is an iPhone app that provides an augmented reality Heads Up Display (HUD) for drivers on the road. When mounted to a windshield, it monitors incoming video information and produces overlays for roads, traffic, signs and more. An electronic voice announces lane changes, your proximity to other vehicles and other such distracting information. I've been using alternative car- and lane-detection hardware units for decades, but they're called my eyes. Perhaps there's an obvious application for this app that I'm missing (smarter cars, enhanced night driving or what have you), and if so, please fill me in. But for now, I can't help but think it'd be a distraction while driving, and a dangerous one at that. Even Luke understands -- sometimes you just have to put the hardware away and use the Force.
