This is some amazing technology introduced by Pioneer at the Tokyo Motor Show. This prototype 3D navigation driving interface consists of three side-by-side LCD screens. The left one shows real-time GPS map of your location, the middle one features 3D holographic images, while the right one shows potential overlays.

So how does this work? Well, let’s say, for example, you want to find a McDrive. All you have to do is press a button on the right touchscreen and the system projects the McDrive in the 3D middle display. Now you can take the projection and drag it to the map (left display) and you get locations to every McDrive in the neighborhood. Pretty cool, huh? Might sound a little to complicated and distracting? Well, it could be, but we love it.

And you haven’t seen the cool part, yet. You can also do all those actions with hand gestures without having to touch a screen or a button which could come in handy on a bumpy road. We have no idea how when this technology will be available on a production car, but one thing’s for sure, the future sounds good.
