There’s an interesting press release out from an engineering company called Calsoft.

California Software Company Limited (Calsoft) has partnered with U-Eyes, China to enhance one of its products, the electronic visor (sun-shield) of a car, by incorporating a flash player in the device.

This software enables the visor in vehicles to serve a dual role, to shield the sunrays, besides providing entertainment. While passengers of the cab can watch a film or a music video, there is room for useful information in the form of tailor made advertisements. This not only cheers up the traveler but also keeps him/her informed of any special offers or events. The best part is that the content can be updated or changed, depending on the requirement.

That’s right, a Flash Player in the car sun visor. That’s definitely new territory for flash.

CalSoft licensed the Flash Player SDK and Flash Lite years ago before Macromedia got gobbled up by Adobe. It’s cool to see that they have found some creative and useful ways to utilize the technology.
