Smart 'device for data display? How 'bout directly to HUD??? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Someone needs to get on this PRONTO. And out of your $million, i want a token cut.

While chattin' up GeekSquad tech today at Best Buy, it dawned on yours truly, that we don't need a display, such as in a smart 'device', that I suggested in the other thread (before stray comments about grocery lists, and dentists' appointment reminders came up); we got HUD for data display!!!

I asked him about loading data log software onto any type of 'smart' device, and he said that the same software that runs on your laptops, with USB / ALDL connection, would have a problem with processor architecture of a smart device.

He suggested a 'MINI' pc, or an 'htpc' - and yes, when I asked, he DID say, "home theater PC; a display-less device. That's when I thought 'HUD'.

So the software CAN go on an Intel or AMD based device, and the display data can go to the projector of an HUD system.

Lets pull the projector (or what-so-ever the device is, in HUD), mount it in the Z, and get a data display feed from 'X' device, and have ECM operating parameters in HUD.
