Is this legal? My understanding is that most states have strict regulations concerning any kind of light being projected from / on your windows.

  I'm sure there are some jurisdictions in which this would be illegal. In some places, certain "traffic aides" are outlawed E.G. Radar detectors. While it could be argued that this doesn't help you evade police, the fact that it's an extraneous (potentially distracting) "thing" attached to the windshield could be a legal hiccup.

    I am less than keen on the idea of a loosely-fastened sheet of glass sitting in front of my face. In an accident, that can't be very safe.

      That's very true. To be fair, this is highly, highly experimental so first iteration will be the proverbial ducktape and cardboard solution. I think future versions will have the device embedded directly into the dash and fastened someway to prevent dislodging in a crash. There are polycarbonates that can take the place of glass to serve as both projection surface and combiner (though these might be pricey). Once attached using solvent, these are very sturdy. So sturdy, in fact, that they're used in high capacity fish tanks.
