Thanks for tuning in to Navdy’s Sep

Thanks for tuning in to Navdy’s September updates. We’re pleased to be able to shed some light on our comprehensive product testing as we round out the final stages of development.

For the past couple of months we’ve been testing Navdy under extreme environmental conditions to ensure that it can take the heat. This included finding a thermal chamber, pictured above, large enough to fit an entire car, with HUD-destroying heat lamps hot enough to simulate the desert sun. The test conditions were so rigorous that the internal temperature of Navdy reached over 100°C. How hot is 100°C (216 °F) you ask? Only 30°C hotter than the highest recorded surface temperature on Earth, in the Lut Desert. And of course, Navdy had to withstand a battery of other environmental tests from drop testing, to vibration testing, to dust-ingress testing, to accelerated life testing. Good news: it’s exceeded our expectations with flying colors.

We’d also like to invite you to visit our blog and read the latest on some of the technology and design that’s going into your Navdy’s, based off of the volume of relevant support questions we got last month. Having received a maelstrom of inquiries around the specifics and behaviors of the display, we’ve focused this Q&A on our optical system. To that end, Navdy CTO Ali Rahimi speaks with Tome Karo, optical engineer, about making magic from lenses and pixels.

Regarding upcoming shipment timing and schedule, remember, you’ll always hear it here first! You may have noticed that we have not yet collected your delivery address. This is a common and best practice among pre-order campaigns as people's addresses, on average, change once a year. We will request your shipping address when we are nearly ready to ship your Navdy to you. Thanks so much for your faith and patience, we are grateful for your support. We value your feedback and we are always listening, so please email support@navdy.com with any questions or to share your thoughts.
