Re: pic: 2451 PWNAGE 2015 Driver Station

I've wanted to use a H.U.D. on our driver station for years, but I could never justify the purchase of the projector.
I had always thought that the miniature size of a "pico" projector would work best but it sounds like you tried that or something similar? Did the projector set up need to be super bright for this to work?
Did you all like this set up?

Wish I had checked this out at Arkansas. Opportunity missed

Does your driver have any issues looking to the left with this configuration? It seems like it would be a problem to me.

Ideally you would probably want the projector mounted on the bottom facing up like aircraft usually do, but in this case it looks like space is an issue without getting really creative with some mirrors or a smaller projector that isn't as bright.

Re: pic: 2451 PWNAGE 2015 Driver Station

is there really enough room to set this up at the competition? And how do you handle the power for the projector? It's a cool idea, reminds me of the camera lucida set up we used to use for drawing...

Thumbs up Re: pic: 2451 PWNAGE 2015 Driver Station

Love the idea! There was another team that did something similar to this, but used a product similar to Google Glass instead of a bulky projector, and I believe the right glasses lens was used for projecting the image onto, but the other one was unoccupied so that the driver could properly see through it.
