To appear real within the landscape, the image must be truly three-dimensional. The Virtual Cable™ uses a unique volumetric display to create this 3D image (patent pending).
The Virtual Cable™ displays can be offered at prices competitive with the embedded screen-based car navigation systems. All components used by the Virtual Cable™ display are currently mass produced for other purposes.
In terms of components independence, the Virtual Cable™ display (as a part of navigation system) is analogous to a PC monitor (as a part of a personal computer system). Just as a PC (CPU) may by upgraded, or replaced, without replacing the monitor, the route-planning device may be upgraded, or replaced, while keeping the original, factory-installed Virtual Cable™ display.

Sweet as! Damn… if i could get a hold of one of those things it would mean that the danger of using a handheld one would more or less be gone…
Now this is something that i could definitely see standard in the future!
I do, too :) And really, I think it is a lot more easier to follow.
But think about it… what if it misses the exit? :D
