Media Windshield

The Media Windshield is a demonstration that changes the use of an automobile windshield to serve multiple purposes. When no one is in the car, it can present information to the outside world: advertising, augmentation of the road signs, even personalized information for a party that is walking by. When the driver gets into the car, it adjusts the audio to be appropriate for their seating arrangement and puts up an Internet interface. When the driver lies back, the windshield can be used as a movie screen for DVD videos. Finally, when the driver is using the car, the windshield can shade the sun and lights, put up virtual signs, and annotate difficult-to-see objects.
