pic of in helmet view
Posted by renyf1
Hi,
I found this pic on Dailyf1.com regarding BMWs new in helmet warning system....but us GP4 fans it gives us a great view of what Jaun or Ralf sees when they sit in the car. Okay enough babbling onto the pics
@$@#@ how does one post pics?
here is the best I can do
[208.50.7.92]
from this pic all the great helmet visor and cockpit designers can probably gain awesome insight
one I wish is the ability to cover the the lower end of the cockpit because your line of sight would be blocked by the helmet
the cool thing is that Gp4 does a good job of in car view....damn this game is really good

maybe they'll have this feature on Gp5
Peter...thanks for posting the pic
who knows that might use the overlay from gp4 in F1 itself...a little reverse simulation perhaps?

it would seem that the claim that in GP4 " nothing gets closer" is true.
that picture above clearly shows that in reallife F1 you cannot see hands on the steering wheel from the cockpit view

ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

not really, for quite a few years nearly all fighter pilots have a HUD in thier helmets, they have stuff tracking targets when in combat and they manage ok.
i should imagine that patrick head would radio them before hand anyway so they are expecting it

yeah but there in teh sky, a near miss for them is about 10 miles, a near miss in f1 is 1mm :P
erm, that pic isnt from reall life then is it :S
the car seems to be stoped

err it is'nt
the point of having this device is to warn you before you encounter the particular problem, not when your about 25 yards away hence the message about turn 3 appearing at turn 1

guys i think that this explains everything:
"BMW develop head-up display for Ralf
''A further important step forward on the safety front.''
in the run-up to the Hungarian Grand Prix, the BMW Technology Office takes the wraps off an innovative Formula One product. A miniature head-up display system in the size of 6x8 milimetres integrated in Ralf Schumacher's helmet will enable a wide range of information and messages to be relayed to the driver. With this "visual information window" BMW is setting new standards for safety in Formula One. It means racing drivers can register visual information while still paying full attention to their driving.
Aided by this innovative technology, the driver can be alerted, for example, to an accident on a certain stretch of the track or a patch of oil in a particular turn. The display system was devised by the BMW Technology Office based in Silicon Valley's Palo Alto in collaboration with a local partner company specializing in electronics and with the German helmet manufacturer Schuberth. Ralf Schumacher will use the mini head-up display in his helmet starting with the forthcoming season. Tests are scheduled to be completed in 2002.
"With this device, BMW has taken a further important step forward on the safety front," says Ralf.
This pioneering technology opens up an entirely new channel of communication between the pits and the driver. A module integrated in the helmet stores various messages and images in a data set which can be called up from the pits and displayed to the driver. The mini head-up display projects the relevant "transparent" image through the visor on a level with the front of the car. The driver registers the information without being distracted from what is happening on the track.
The BMW mini head-up display has a high-resolution true colour display based on active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) technology. The key function of the display is found in a unique lens element known as a free form prism (FFP). Thus the driver is able to see the picture pin sharp.
The mini head-up display enables the projection of any number of optical messages into the driver's direct field of vision. For Formula One testing, the miniature display was integrated into the chin cup of a modified Schuberth RF-1 racing helmet. Additional walls and padding were used in accordance with guidelines from the SNELL Foundation (the helmet safety organization). The system is located in the peripheral vision field of the driver's dominant eye. Thanks to the unique design of the system, the information is projected into the driver's field of vision without his having to actually look at the display.
"The eye very quickly gets used to this small spot and ignores it as if it were a tiny insect on the windscreen," explains Jürgen Brügl, project engineer at the BMW office in Palo Alto.
With the help of the miniature display, the F1 driver is fed a wide range of information on the race and on safety precautions straight from the pits. It means the driver is permanently informed of his position in the race, can receive instructions from the pits during the race and training, such as "go faster", "come into the box" or "oil in turn 2", and is kept up to date on flag signals and emergency procedures by means of messages such as "pit traffic" or "oil pump". Moreover, it allows the instructor in the pits to send the driver an SMS through bi-directional telemetry. This information is relayed straight to the display. Similarly, information on the engine management (e.g. "oil pressure low" can be sent directly to the driver without having to go through the pits. It all helps to save precious time.
Within the ConnectedDrive philosophy of BMW Group it is also possible to transfer the head-up-display technology from the Formula 1 into series production. With ConnectedDrive the BMW Group connects drivers with their vehicles and with the surrounding traffic management to increase safety, efficiency and driving comfort.
The integral head-up display was developed in the westernmost office of the BMW Group's Research and Innovation Centre (FIZ), right in the middle of Palo Alto in Silicon Valley. Since 1998, 16 associates - IT experts, logisticians, chemists and engineers from various specialist fields - have been working towards a common objective, namely to ensure the fastest possible integration of innovative technologies into BMW cars.
"Thanks to our Technology Office we have our finger on the pulse of the time and are in a position to harness the rapid developments in communications and information technology in Silicon Valley to our own purposes," says Dr Burkhard Goeschel, BMW Group board member responsible for Development and Purchasing. The BMW Technology Office specializes in highly innovative, cutting-edge technologies

WTF?
Thats CLEARLY the pit stright! The pits are on the right, thats copse ahead.
Am i missing something here? How can that NOT be Silverstone? Its also the closest track to the Williams Head Qaurters - so unless they flew the cars out to another track, just to take this pic, then this has to be silverstone?

Jesus may be able to heal the sick and bring the dead back to life, but he can't do shît for low fps
