The third mode by Jaguar Land Rover's system creates virtual cones to create a course that improves the drivers cornering and turning. All these will be projected on the windscreen and will look like a video game, however, it will help Jaguar Land Rover owners improve their driving experience considerably.

Dr Wolfgang Epple, Director of Research and Technology for Jaguar Land Rover, explains, "We are working on research projects that will give the driver better information to enhance the driving experience. By presenting the highest quality imagery possible, a driver need only look at a display once."

He further added, "Showing virtual images that allow the driver to accurately judge speed and distance will enable better decision-making and offer real benefits for everyday driving on the road, or the track."

Jaguar Land Rover has not given a time frame as to when this technology will be available in their vehicles. The Virtual Windscreen is realistic and at times you would feel you are really racing another vehicle or competing in a video game.
