New land rover transparent hood using front cam and HUD.

Land Rover

I'm tempted to try and find a cheap front cam and embedded system to hook up to my google glass.

Is there a way to hard wire our front camera or tap into it with another screen?

Should be able to as I think it just has composite out. You would need to disconnect it from the main system, attach it to a power switch and source, aux seems like overkill, and attach it to a screen with composite input. A mirror from a truck with backup but without nav would be an interesting choice as then you wouldn't have an extra screen hanging out.

Awesome, yes. Cant wait for the aftermarket piece to come out so I can retrofit....also need API interfaces for my Garmin and Radar Detector that flash up on my screen too. I know Garmin makes a HUD unit, but it only displays text, not graphics. Some cool GPS interface could put turn-by-turn info up graphically on your screen in something like green direction lines or sign post displays that say "Turn left in 500 feet, STUPID".. or "SLOW THE HELL DOWN NOW, MARIO!!." This particular application is cool, but I would also like to see where my bumper is, not just my tires. Would also be kinda cool if an incoming call displayed a nekked hologram picture of the spouse/sig. other caller floating in the passenger seat (might improve the greeting process when arriving home with the bread or milk he/she had you stop for on the way home) or virtual callers in the rear view mirror....kinda creepy....but doable. Also I could put a check on those people you don't like and have them appear in front of the car so you run over them...virtually of course.
