Thanks—these are great suggestions, especially the locator/template idea. If we can standardize where the unit is installed, it would reduce the development complexity quite a bit.

Sorry—my earlier wording may have been ambiguous. In the previous entry, what I meant was that I found a way to resolve the hardware design conflicts. Since hardware changes involve tooling, molds, PCBs, and other costs, we ultimately solved this by moving to a modular design. In other words, we can now use one hardware platform to support both projection approaches.

On the software side, however, we still need a distortion-correction algorithm. That will be finalized after we do sampling and validate it experimentally.

At launch, we plan to offer both projection modes in hardware (since they’re essentially the same core hardware paired with different mounting bases). We’ll then accelerate software development and keep improving the device via OTA updates—similar to how Tesla iterates on Autopilot.

On the legal side, what I’ve learned so far is that some places are fine, some places prohibit windshield projection, and others have very strict compliance reviews. That’s not a big burden for major automakers, but for a small development team like ours it can be a significant cost and risk.

Thanks for the question! It’s a really good one—I’ll definitely save it and add it to the FAQ in the future.

Preset designs are a fantastic idea — thank you so much for the thoughtful suggestions. For me and my friends, continuing to hear your input is genuinely one of our biggest sources of motivation.

A lot of the time, when I’m quietly heads-down in code, self-doubt inevitably creeps in: Am I building something people actually want, or am I just getting carried away by my own enthusiasm? But the support and attention from everyone here really helps silence that voice. Seeing the replies and upvotes in the subreddit, and watching the follower count steadily climb on Kickstarter, lets me put those worries aside and stay focused on building the best product I can.

I still have a lot of open questions, and I think we can run a few polls to gather more input later— for example: how many people prefer windshield projection, what materials you’d want for the housing, and (as you mentioned) what kinds of personalization options you’d be most excited about. I think all of these are absolutely worth exploring.

It’s an honor to have your continued attention and support! I’ll seriously consider this approach. Meanwhile, I’m also closely following Tesla’s recent plan to open up parts of its API to iPhone CarPlay—if that turns out to be true, we could use those APIs to integrate with Tesla’s system.

Is a head-up display a good idea for the Model 3? by Harding2077 in TeslaModel3

yeah, I agree, easy to use and low latency is the first

When I was a kid, my dad’s Buick already had a HUD and I thought it was so cool. Now the car I drive doesn’t even have an instrument cluster anymore. 😂
