I get sometimes bored of all the GPS systems not bringing anything new to the devices we test. But this one, though we didn't test it, looks like a great combination of SF, 3D graphics and GPS system. I mean, I could really use this one and I can remember a situation I've been involved in recently that would have had a faster and happier ending I would have had such a thing.

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.
