A Heads Up Display for automotive applications

The HUD can be projected behind the steering of a car, on the windscreen. It will consist of simplistic user interface displaying speed, emergency icons and GPS navigation.

Used Google Maps SDK for Android and Google Maps Direction API

Custom made language processing logic Speech to text and text to speech

Location finding was a big challenge that we had to overcome along with parsing natural speech. We utilised the help of experienced mentors and other teams to figure them out.

Getting google map directions to work on our Android API was a proud moment.

Team work and time management is key in a STEM based project

This device can serve as a platform and springboard for future implementations. Augmented reality and Artificial Intelligence could be incorporated into the virtual assistant in the coming future to better fit the needs of various drivers and driving styles
