Navigation peek ahead and behind

Some embodiments of the invention provide a navigation application that allows a user to peek ahead or behind during a turn-by-turn navigation presentation that the application provides while tracking a device (e.g., a mobile device, a vehicle, etc.) traversal of a physical route. As the device traverses along the physical route, the navigation application generates a navigation presentation that shows a representation of the device on a map traversing along a virtual route that represents the physical route on the map. While providing the navigation presentation, the navigation application can receive user input to look ahead or behind along the virtual route. Based on the user input, the navigation application moves the navigation presentation to show locations on the virtual route that are ahead or behind the displayed current location of the device on the virtual route. This movement can cause the device representation to no longer be visible in the navigation presentation. Also, the virtual route often includes several turns, and the peek ahead or behind movement of the navigation presentation passes the presentation through one or more of these turns. In some embodiments, the map can be defined presented as a two-dimensional (2D) or a three-dimensional (3D) scene.

Concept for the Control of a Display of a Mobile Augmented Reality Device

The invention relates to a method, a device and a computer-readable storage medium with instructions for controlling a display of a mobile augmented reality device of a user. First a static navigation display for a destination is generated, which is positioned in a stationary manner in a real environment. If a situation is detected that requires an adaptation of the display of the mobile augmented reality device, a static navigation display adapted to the situation or a supplementary navigation display is generated.

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.

Navigation using augmented reality

Navigation assistance is provided to a user of a vehicle. A live view shows a scene of the roadway and navigation indicators may be superimposed on to the scene of the roadway using augmented reality. Interface elements on the live view provide additional information related to navigation. A map view may also be provided and be toggled from the live view by a toggle interaction. In addition, a hazard detection system may be provided to detect hazards and display indicators of the hazards to the user.

Object location indicator system and method

A method of operating as object indicator module includes capturing at least one image, said captured image covers at least a portion of an environment of a subject, determining a location of an object relative to the environment of the subject, in response to determining the location of the object, determining modifications of the at least one captured image to generate a modified image that indicates the location of the object relative to the environment, and causing the modified image to be presented on at least one display.

Route planner for work machines

A method of maneuvering a work machine is disclosed comprising receiving a signal indicative of an actual position of a work machine, and determining a route to maneuver the work machine from the actual position to a target position. When a distance between the actual location and the target location is greater than a straight-distance threshold, the route comprises a curved portion between the actual position and a straight-distance threshold point and a straight portion between the straight-distance threshold point and the target position. When the distance between the actual location and the target location is less than the straight-distance threshold, the route comprises the straight portion. The method further includes displaying a determined path and an indicator.

SYSTEM FOR NAVIGATION ROUTE GUIDANCE

A vehicle computer system includes a display and a processor in communication with the display. The processor is programmed to output a user interface that includes a map portion on the display, wherein the map portion includes map images indicative of at least road geometry and street names, and output on the user interface a route guidance portion including one or more guidance routes indicative of a programmed route to a destination. The processor is also further programmed to output a maneuver portion indicative of an upcoming maneuver associated with the programmed route, wherein the maneuver portion includes a maneuvering street sign image indicative of an upcoming street associated with the upcoming maneuver, wherein the maneuvering street sign image is programmed to flash at a predetermined rate upon approaching the upcoming maneuver.

AR DISPLAY DEVICE FOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME

An Augmented Reality (AR) display device interoperating with a vehicle and a method for operating the same are disclosed. An AR display device interoperating with a vehicle according to the present disclosure can display a current driving state of the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling and display a guide related to a predicted next driving situation on a navigation screen using an AR graphic interface. At this time, the AR display device can guide a predicted driving situation in advance by separating and locating a part of the AR graphic interface at a predetermined distance ahead of a predicted location, and allow the separated part of the AR graphic interface to move as the vehicle travels so as to display a guide trajectory along which the vehicle is supposed to travel. This can provide more intuitive and realistic AR guidance to the vehicle.
