In an information display apparatus displaying information onto a vehicle, an information display apparatus capable of acquiring a lot of pieces of image information while reducing point-of-view motion of a viewer is provided. An information display apparatus displaying information onto a vehicle includes a first information display apparatus displaying image information of a virtual image by allowing a windshield glass of a vehicle to reflect light, a second information display apparatus acquiring a practical image by scanning the windshield glass with laser light using a MEMS element and a third information display apparatus using an instrument panel of the vehicle.

A head-up display for a vehicle. The head-up display comprises a projector and processor. The projector is arranged to project image content such that it is visible from an eye-box. The processor is arranged to receive captured images of a scene visible from the eye-box. The processor is arranged, at a first time to: detect a first object in a scene and instruct the image projector to project an icon (e.g. computer graphic) that appears, from the viewing position, to be coincident with the first object. The processor is further arranged to, at a second time later than the first time to: detect a second object in a line of sight from the eye-box position to the first object and instruct the image projector to change the visual appearance of the projected icon in response to the detection of the second object.

Methods and systems for relative inertial measurement may include a user device configured to couple with a user's body and measure motion of the user's body or a part of the user's body while the user rides in a vehicle. A second inertial measurement device may be configured to move with the vehicle but to not move with movements of the user's body within the vehicle. One or more processors may receive inertial measurements from the first and second inertial measurement devices and determine movement of the user's body or the part of the user's body relative to the vehicle by comparing the received inertial measurements.

A head-up display (HUD) including a direction-information generator, a shift device, and a display system. The direction-information generator generates direction information to be superimposed on a road surface ahead of a vehicle on which the HUD is mounted. The direction information represents a direction of travel to be followed by the vehicle. The shift device shifts at least some of the direction-change information into the display area when the direction information includes direction-change information to represent a change in the direction of travel and the direction-change information falls outside a display area. The display system displays the direction information within the display area as a virtual image.

A yawing information acquisition unit acquires a yaw angle of a vehicle. A deviation possibility prediction unit predicts a possibility of deviation of the vehicle from an expected traveling route, using at least one piece of information among line-of-sight information about an occupant, utterance information, and traffic information. A yawing change prediction unit determines deviation of the vehicle from the expected traveling route, using the yaw angle and the possibility of deviation. In a case where the yawing change prediction unit has determined the deviation, an image generation unit changes a superimposition target and corrects the difference in position between the superimposition target after the change and a display object.

In a display control device for a head-up display mounted in a vehicle, when a lane keeping control function of driving a vehicle to travel in a traveling lane is terminated, a termination notification image to notify a driver of a termination of the lane keeping control function is generated and caused to be displayed by the head-up display. As another example, in a configuration where the operation of the lane keeping control function is continued even when one of a right road line and a left road line of the traveling lane is not detected, a continuation notification image to notify a driver of a continuation of the lane keeping control function is generated and caused to be displayed by the head-up display.

A ride system includes eyewear configured to be worn by a user. The eyewear includes a display having a stereoscopic feature configured to permit viewing of externally projected stereoscopically displayed images. The ride system includes a computer graphics generation system communicatively coupled to the eyewear, and configured to generate streaming media of a real world environment based on image data captured via the camera of the eyewear, generate one or more virtual augmentations superimposed on the streaming media of the real world environment, and to transmit the streaming media of the real world environment along with the one or more superimposed virtual augmentations to be displayed on the display of the eyewear, and project stereoscopic images into the real world environment.

Systems and methods are disclosed that include a video processing system associated with a vehicle. The video processing system receives video data from at least one camera mounted to the vehicle, the video data representing an external scene, receives motion data, a virtual gaze direction of viewing of the external scene and a direction of facing of a head of a user. The video data is transformed based at least on a disparity between the virtual gaze direction and the direction of facing and based on the motion data. The transformed video data is displayed on a display device of the user.

A head-up display device and a display method thereof are provided. the head-up display device includes: an image source configured to generate and emit light having image information; a first polarization control device configured to receive the light and convert the light into a first polarized light or a second polarized light having a polarization direction different from a polarization direction of the first polarized light; and a focal length switching device configured to transmit the first polarized light and the second polarized light and have different deflection effects on the first polarized light and the second polarized light, such that the first polarized light and the second polarized light passing through the focal length switching device are projected onto a projection screen to respectively present virtual images which are at different distances from the projection screen.

When information regarding a situation inside and outside a vehicle is determined to match a display change condition, a control unit (32) changes a display mode of information displayed outside the vehicle by controlling a projector device (4a) or a body light device (4b).
