GPS technology is super but however, it's still Annoying

IF playing with the phone while driving is considered a very disturbing and dangerous, consider the new navigation concept offered by MIT and Volkswagen is called by the AIDA Project.


AIDA is a joint technology developed by the SENSEable City Lab at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and VW which is short for Affective Intelligent Driving Agents who utilize a series of 3D projector. A large map will be projected on a blank space above the dashboard.

Hint route, destination information, infotainment options and a host of other features can all be controlled and regulated using hand movements to be captured by the sensors on the system AIDA 2.0.

This makes it like a technology that looks great, but whether it would disturb the driver's concentration and vision. It is not because the technology is bad, but on the contrary.

Although the projected image in space that 'not' used, but because tempilannya a very very interesting and fun to watch and dperhatikan, then view the driver would be more interested in drawing the GPS, not on the streets around it.
