Custom Windsheild HUD
I was thinking of a design that I could put an LCD panel inside of my dash and using a mirror, project it onto the windshield.
I was thinking I could use a panel like one of these

I'm going to be running a car PC and I could write a small program that would use my GPS location to determine speed, I could also display car info pulled to the PC by data logging.
Has anyone experimented or thought about something like this?
I have a Droid and there is an app called uHud that actually worked surprisingly well. I can set the phone on the dash of my car and clearly see the speed and or map, displayed on the windshield in front of me.
Here is a pic of a similar app on the iphone.

i wouldn't bother building the lcd setup from scratch, if you already have a carputer then all you need is a standalone screen with a vga/rca or other input compatible with your carputer. the rest is software to display a digital gauge and you may need to flip the image (tough but easier than programming an lcd controller from scratch).
