Calsoft, Flash, and TV in your car

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 [tag]Flash[/tag] Player in the car sun visor. That’s definitely new territory for flash.

CalSoft licensed the Flash Player SDK and [tag]Flash Lite[/tag] 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.
