Japan's Fujitsu Labs has unveiled a new development in auto technology that provides a three-dimensional-style wrap around view for drivers. Using four vehicle-based cameras to process what the company calls "3-D virtual projection/point of view conversion technology," the driver is given a real-time view of his surroundings in the round.

Rear-view car cameras with dashboard video viewing have been common in Japan for many years, now just as the technology evolves to perfection the safety tool will debut publicly at the World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems & ITS America's 2008 Annual Meeting and Exposition being held this week in New York.
