Accelolens aims to end distracted driving. It functions as a heads-up display unit (HUD) that projects the user’s Smartphone notifications onto its screen, once the phone is tucked away inside the device, where it can no longer distract the driver. The phone pairs with services such as Apple CarPlay and Siri. Once the scale inside Accelolens recognizes that the phone is inside the device, where it is out of sight and out of reach, it will project the phone’s screen and notifications on its glass panel. The device sits on the user’s dashboard where it is located, front and center, so that the driver can maintain eye contact with the road even when they receive a new notification or while scanning their GPS.
