Navdy, a California startup out to put a head-up display (HUD) puts navigation, messages, calls and more right where the driver is already looking.

The Navdy is a five-inch device composed of a low-power computer, high-resolution projector and a transparent display. Drivers sit the Navdy on their dashboard, connect it to the car’s OBD-II port (a power source and connection to the car’s diagnostics) and link it with their smartphone over Bluetooth.

Through the Navdy app, the system syncs with turn-by-turn navigation, phone calls, messaging, Twitter and music services like Pandora and Spotify. The projector shines onto the display, creating a prismatic effect that causes the image to appear as if it’s on a two-foot screen about six feet in front of the car. Images appear to float, similar to the way they do in other popular HUDs, such as Google Glass.
