Special projection interfacing device for enhanced routing- S.P.I.D.E.R.

In urban areas, local commuting is mostly done using automobiles comprising of cars and motor cycles. With complex road networks, it becomes essential to use a device (smart phone or tablet) for viewing routes on the Global Position System (GPS) to reach the destination. However repeated looking at the device while driving becomes risky and cumbersome for safety reasons. Encountering this problem, this project deals with simplifying directions to the destination along with notifications such as missed calls, text messages and weather updates on a small part of the screen of a car´s wind shield with the use of a mini inexpensive projector. This paper discusses how it was achieved through acquiring images of navigation, applying digital image processing using Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) and increasing its speed with the help of Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA).
