An apparatus for displaying a virtual lane may include: a processor to generate the virtual lane by converting lane information of a preceding vehicle into lane information viewed in a viewpoint of a host vehicle, in platooning, and a display to display the virtual lane.

A head-up display apparatus is disclosed. The head-up display apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a display panel; a stereoscopic image filter; and a mirror. The display panel includes a first region in which a first image is displayed and a second region in which a second image is displayed, and the stereoscopic image filter is configured to convert the first image into a stereoscopic image. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first image displayed on the display panel is warped and displayed, thereby preventing distortion of the stereoscopic image when projected on a windshield.

A method for operating a display unit of vehicle, wherein the display unit displays at least one display, comprises ascertaining the viewing direction of a driver using a gaze-tracking device; checking whether the viewing direction of the driver is directed at the display unit; checking whether traffic-relevant data are present; operating the display unit in an energy-saving mode when the view of the driver is not directed at the display unit and/or when no traffic-relevant data is present; and operating the display unit in a display mode when the view of the driver is directed at the display unit and/or when traffic-relevant data is present for display. A display unit is also disclosed.

An anti-motion sickness device fitted to a motor vehicle including a triaxial accelerometer to detect the vehicle accelerations along three axes and to emit a corresponding acceleration signal; a display component of light markers to form at least one first and second artificial horizon lines at first and second inner surface, respectively of the motor vehicle. The device includes a control unit for receiving the acceleration signals and for driving the display wherein the artificial horizon lines are aligned in a horizontal plane perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the gravity vector regardless of vehicle accelerations. The control unit is configured to process the acceleration signals, prior to the control of the display to determine in real time an acceleration frequency according to each of the accelerometer axes and to drive the display only when the acceleration frequency is below a threshold frequency, below which the motion sickness likely occurs.

In the case in which a loss of the viewpoint position of a driver occurs when a viewpoint position follow-up warping control is executed to update warping parameters according to the viewpoint position of the driver, and then the viewpoint position is re-detected, it is suppressed that the appearance of an image instantaneously changes in accordance with the update of the warping parameters and the driver is caused to feel uneasy. When the viewpoint loss in which at least one position of the right and left viewpoints becomes unclear is detected, a control unit, which executes the viewpoint position follow-up warping control, maintains, in a viewpoint loss period, the warping parameters set immediately before the viewpoint loss period, and, when the viewpoint position is re-detected after the viewpoint loss period, invalidates at least one warping process using the warping parameters corresponding to the re-detected viewpoint position.

A modular display system for a vehicle is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of display units that may be arranged along an exterior of the vehicle in different orientations. The system offers a modular, scalable, accessible, and simplified approach to exterior displays for automated and other types of vehicles. The displays, being modular, are not tied to the specific mounting location on the vehicle's exterior. The image data for each display is rotated based on the orientation of the display as installed which is identified by reference to the distinct pin connections of each display's control port.
