Video display system for vehicle

A video display system for a vehicle includes a video display device disposed in the vehicle so as to be viewable by a driver of the vehicle. A camera is disposed at the vehicle and having an exterior field of view and operable to capture image data. A control includes a data processor. The control, responsive at least in part to processing by the data processor of captured image data, detects an object present exterior of the vehicle that is in the field of view of the camera, and determines if the detected object constitutes a hazardous condition. Responsive to determination of the hazardous condition, the control controls the video display device to automatically display an alert to the driver of the vehicle, with the alert including display of video images of the object that are derived from captured image data or a graphic overlay on displayed video images.

VIRTUAL-SPACE-IMAGE PROVIDING DEVICE AND PROGRAM FOR PROVIDING VIRTUAL SPACE IMAGE
20210247200 · 2021-08-12 ·

The invention is provided with: a turning determination unit 13 and an image reproducing unit 14. The turning determination unit 13 determines a section in which an automobile travels with turning, not travels straight, based on road-route information regarding a traveling route and a road on the traveling route. The image reproducing unit 14 displays a selected-virtual space image that is selected in advance in a straight section in which the automobile travels straight, and displays a turning-virtual space image for a view field turning in accordance with a turning pattern determined by a road shape and a traveling direction in a turning section, in the turning section in which the automobile travels with turning. When the automobile turns, a contradiction that occurs between information obtained by the brain through an experience of a user and information obtained by the brain through that the user views the turning-virtual space image displayed on an HMD 200 is reduced, and thus an occurrence that the autonomic nerves cause an abnormal phenomenon is suppressed.

Social Messaging User Interface

Hubs for social interaction via electronic devices are described. In one aspect, a data processing device includes a display screen displaying a social interaction hub, the social interaction hub including a collection of records. Each record includes a counterparty identifier identifying a counterparty of a past social interaction event, a mode indicium identifying a mode by which the past social interaction event with the counterparty occurred, and a collection of mode indicia each identifying a mode by which a future, outgoing social interaction event with the counterparty can occur. The counterparty identifier, the mode indicium, and the collection of mode indicia are associated with one another in the records of the social interaction hub.

Image processing device and image capturing apparatus

An image processing device mounted to a vehicle includes a motion feature extracting unit is configured to create motion information indicative of a motion of an observation target from a captured image including the observation target around the vehicle, a distance feature extracting unit is configured to calculate a distance from the vehicle to the observation target based on the captured image, and a recognition unit is configured to execute a recognition process of the observation target based on process results of the motion feature extracting unit and the distance feature extracting unit. The motion feature extracting unit and the distance feature extracting unit have respective operation processing amounts changed based on a predetermined vehicle state.

Compass device

A compass device includes a base seat, a vial unit received in an accommodation hole of the base seat, an azimuth unit rotatably sleeved around the vial unit, a first spring wire disposed to resiliently retain the vial unit to the azimuth unit for magnetic declination adjustment, and a second spring wire disposed to resiliently retain the azimuth unit to the base seat for bearing angle measurement.
