Navdy is a new hands-free communication system that allows drivers to use navigation, respond to messages and answer calls through voice command and motion recognition, which means they don't have to take their eyes off the road and their hands off the steering wheel.

Using a compact projector and a 5.1” transparent display that sits on the dashboard, drivers can view and share specific information from their favourite smartphone apps.

When you get an incoming call, all you have to do is raise your thumb in front of the projector to start the conversation. To hang up, just move your finger like you would do on a tablet (without even touching the device). As mentioned earlier, voice commands will work, too.

The following video shows how easy to use Navdy is. The only problem? It's not even on the market yet. Developers are banking on crowd-funding to raise US$60,000 and get the project off the ground.

That being said, anyone can pre-order a Navdy at US$300. If all goes as planned, deliveries will begin in early 2015.
