Heads Up Displays

Heads Up Displays


Just imagine using your entire car windshield as a fully transparent display with many additional information details showing up on a wide Head-Up display automatically. These Head-Up Displays are no science fiction anymore. In fact there are development kits available which help you to build up full windshield Head-Up Display (fw-HUD) applications on your car windshield.

Imagine using the entire windshield as a fully transparent display in a car (fw-HUD)

Increased Awareness

heads-up display (HUD) or head-up display provides users with a wide array of data on a transparent display in front of their eyes. This setup allows the user to avoid looking away from the usual lines of sight. Initially developed for aviation, the name “HUD” derives from a pilot’s ability to view data with the head in an “up” position, looking forward, rather than downward at the actual instruments. This technology, coupled with the increasing amount of information available on a HUD, has enabled a wide variety of military and some commercial aircraft to fly more securely in poor weather or at night.

Commercially Available

In 1988, General Motors put a HUD system into a handful of cars. These systems projected the instrument display onto the windshield of a Cutlass Supreme Pace Car and fifty replicas. In 1991, Toyota introduced the Crown Majesta, its flagship domestic model, with a HUD system. Gradually, HUD systems began to improve. The Corvette featured the first color HUD in 1998. In 2003, BMW offered a system in its 2004 5 Series that displayed in multiple colors, with brightness adjusted to ambient light, and customizable with navigation information (which, at the time, came on a DVD-based system).
Today, similar systems are increasingly available on many luxury car models, and some non-luxury models. Heads-up display is even standard on the Toyota Prius. Speed, hybrid system information, and navigation data are available on the HUD, which also allows the driver to adjust brightness and position of the projected image

KSL 5 reviews Millenniata's 1000 year archival disc - The M-DISC

How M-Disk work

How Does It Work? For Those With Inquiring Minds, Let’s Get Technical.

The M-DISC™ is composed of chemically stable and heat-resistant materials that are not used in any other DVD or optical disc. Data is engraved into the M-DISC™ by physically altering the recording layer and creating permanent pits or voids in the disc, preserving your files forever.

Because of its permanent makeup, M-DISC™ is not affected by temperature, humidity, or sunlight. On the contrary, DVDs and optical drives use organic dyes that begin to fade and decay the moment you record your information, resulting in corrupt and unreadable data over time.

The New Standard in Digital Storage

The M-DISC™ provides the storage space of a DVD, the attributes of a +R disc and the permanence that only M-DISC™ can offer. On average, a 4.7 GB M-DISC™ can store up to 8,000 photos, 240 minutes of video footage, or over 100,000 documents. The M-DISC™ is engravable with M-DISC™ READY Drives and readable with current DVD drives.

packagelabel

Engraving on the M-DISC™ requires an M-DISC™ READY Drive, which LG produces and offers in both external and internal optical disc drives, with prices starting as low as $25. Also, many computer manufacturers worldwide, such as Acer and Dell, offer the M-DISC™ READY Drive as an option within their systems. For a complete list of compatible drives and computers, please click here.
M-DISC™ READY Drives are compatible with Mac, PC’s, Linux, or other common operating systems, only requiring up-to-date optical drive software that supports the drive interface (typically USB or SATA.)

1000 years disk

Don’t Think Years. Think Millennia.

As technology rapidly advances, we’re living longer, doing more, creating more memories and recording more data. Every scrapbooker, business owner, photographer, every person fears losing the legacy they have spent their lifetime creating. M-DISC™ eliminates that fear. Once written, your documents, medical records, photos, videos and data will last up to 1,000 years. “Just M-Disc™ and Forget It!”
M-DISC™ is the only data storage solution to withstand rigorous testing by the U.S. Department of Defense. Even today’s leading archival optical discs weren’t up to the challenge. M-DISC™ is resistant to extremem conditions of light, temperature, humidity and more. M-DISC™ cannot be overwritten, erased or corrupted by natural processes. Best of all, it’s compatible with any DVD drive, so you can access your data anywhere, anytime.

Not all data storage is created equal
