VW/Audi working on 3D image navigation projected on dash

Here you see the latest navigation concept from MIT and Volkswagen/Audi. Called the AIDA Project, this technology joint venture between MIT's SENSEable City Lab and VW/Audi stands for Affective, Intelligent Driving Agent.

Using a series of 3D projectors, a large map would take up residence in the unused space on top of the dashboard. Route guidance, destination information, infotainment options and a host of other features would all be controlled via hand gestures that are sensed by the AIDA 2.0 system.

This makes for a great looking navigation, but very distracting. Watch the video of AIDA 2.0 to see for yourself.
