A head-up display device is provided in a vehicle together with a headlamp. The head-up display device includes a light source, a control unit, and a projection unit. The light source emits white light whose correlated color temperature is changeable. The control unit adjusts the correlated color temperature of the white light emitted from the light source. The projection unit forms image light by the white light emitted from the light source. The projection unit projects the image light onto a projection target member disposed in front of a driver of the vehicle, thereby displaying a virtual image superimposed on a landscape for the driver. The control unit adjusts the correlated color temperature of the white light emitted from the light source in accordance with a correlated color temperature of irradiation light emitted from the headlamp.

A method for providing guided navigation for personal transport devices is described. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a list of predetermined destinations associated with a geographic area, projecting directions to one or more of the destinations on a ground surface located in front of a personal transport device, and providing an option to a user of the personal transport device to select between at least two different destinations. A direction associated with each destination of the at least two destinations may be projected on the ground surface located in front of the personal transport device. The method also includes receiving an input from the user indicating a selection of one of the at least two different destinations and projecting directions to the selected destination on the ground surface located in front of the personal transport device to guide the user to the selected destination.

It is possible to display a frame that is comfortable for an occupant. An image processing apparatus (10) according to the present disclosure includes: an image/sound creation unit (142) that: creates a frame belonging to one of a plurality of modes as a frame of an application to be displayed on a screen provided in a vehicle; and moves before-switching and after-switching frames in a first direction parallel to or perpendicular to a vehicle travel direction in a case where an operation for switching from a frame that is being displayed to another frame in the same mode for the application is input, and moves before-switching and after-switching frames in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in a case where an operation for switching from a frame that is being displayed to another frame in a different mode for the application is input.

Sensor data captured by one or more sensors coupled to a first entity are received by an apparatus. The sensor data comprises a location of the first entity or representation of surroundings of the first entity. Based at least in part on the sensor data, a second entity is identified. Based at least in part on trajectories along which the first and second entities are respectively traveling, it is expected that the second entity will enter a zone defined around the first entity. Based at least in part on the sensor data, an amount of time until the second entity will enter the zone is determined. The amount of time until the second entity will enter the zone is provided as (a) input to a navigation function and/or (b) to be displayed as a countdown via a display element and/or speaker element of the first entity.

A method for assisting the driving of a vehicle which can be implemented by a relative system including an HMD, and a positioning module mounted on the vehicle. The method can include detecting a vehicle position by the positioning module; determining a position of the HMD by applying a compensation law to the vehicle position, based on the position of the HMD, determining a view volume corresponding to a volume of space comprised in the field of view of the HMD; comparing a set of positions in the view volume with at least one position of interest associated with a stored object of interest , and, if one or more positions of interest are in the view volume, calculating a visualization position of the HMD in which to display an image associated with the object of interest and displaying on the HMD the image in said visualization position.

In some implementations, a device may identify objects associated with the route based on one or more images associated with a selected route. The device may generate a model associated with the route including the scenery, wherein the scenery includes models of the objects based on geographic locations of the objects and three-dimensional spatial information of the objects. The device may determine a visual reference point for the virtual reality driving session based on at least one of vehicle information associated with the vehicle or user information. The device may provide, to a virtual reality device, presentation information that causes the virtual reality driving session to be displayed by the virtual reality device from a perspective of the visual reference point within a vehicle model associated with a selected vehicle placed in the model of the route with the scenery.

The invention relates to a method for calculating an AR overlay of additional information for display on an AR display unit, in particular a head-up display of a vehicle or smart glasses. The AR overlay is used to display a navigation route on the AR display unit. The navigation route is recalculated from time to time by a navigation system. The method is characterized in that the AR overlay is calculated in such a way that the recalculated route is displayed at least at a certain first distance before a branch-off point, and the driver is given an operating option of switching back and forth between the overview of the recalculated route and the previously calculated route.

A route conflict with emergency vehicle identification system includes an infrastructure receiving vehicle location, speed and trajectory information of an emergency vehicle. An automobile vehicle is in communication with the infrastructure and receives the vehicle location, speed and trajectory information of the emergency vehicle. A navigation system of the automobile vehicle operates using global positioning system (GPS) data and preloaded map data to generate a map identifying at least one roadway and a potential conflict on the at least one roadway between projected paths of the emergency vehicle and the automobile vehicle on the at least one roadway. A head-up display or a head-down display of the automobile vehicle visually presents the potential conflict.

A route recording with real-time annotation and re-display system includes a first automobile vehicle having one or more camera systems. An imaging display device defining a head-up display (HUD) is positioned within the first automobile vehicle and receives camera imaging data from the one or more camera systems. The HUD includes a video display screen presenting the camera imaging data either in real-time or re-displayed from a pre-recorded image file. A microphone array receives vehicle operator voice data of a first operator of the first automobile vehicle. An annotated-recorded-route is created by adding a user input of the first operator of the first automobile vehicle including the voice data. The annotated-recorded-route identifies specific coordinates or locations along a travel route driven by the automobile vehicle through the voice data after activating recording of the camera imaging data.

In AR glasses, an incident angle calculation unit calculates first and second angles of incidence of first and second markers, respectively, to an imager relative to a reference line in the real world in accordance with image plane coordinates of the first and second markers in the image captured by the imager. A separation distance calculation unit calculates a camera-to-marker distance, which is a distance from the imager to the first marker, in accordance with the calculated first and second angles of incidence, and an inter-marker separation distance between the first and second markers along the reference line in the real world. A display adjustment unit adjusts a projection position and size of the AR image with respect to the first marker in the image plane coordinates in accordance with the camera-to-marker distance.
