Asus R710 GPS with Head-Up Display Demoed on Video

This is some video of Asus’ swanky new GPS model that projects data onto your windshield, saving you from distracting yourself from the road by peering at a device screen. So will the R710 make you feel like you’re flying a fighter aircraft with glitzy HUD graphics? No, not really, as it projects just some very basic info, like distance to next turn and which direction you’re going in. But if it prevents accidents, and makes navigating across tricky junctions a little easier since you won’t have to move your eyes from the road, seems like a great idea to me. [Navigadget]
