Three-dimensional augmented reality head-up display for positioning virtual image on ground by means of windshield reflection method
A three-dimensional augmented reality head-up display includes a display device functioning as a light source; and a freeform surface mirror for reflecting light from the light source onto a windshield of a vehicle. An image created by the light from the light source is focused on the ground in front of the vehicle as a virtual image of a three-dimensional perspective, through a reflection method in which the light from the light source is reflected onto the windshield by means of the freeform surface mirror.
Apparatus and method with virtual content adjustment
A processor-implemented method includes: adjusting a virtual content object based on a shape of the virtual content object projected onto a projection plane; and visualizing the adjusted virtual content object on the projection plane.
Display control device, display control system, and display control method
The display control device includes a controller that controls a first display and a second display to control displaying of first information and second information. The controller obtains gaze information indicating a driver's gaze, and the driver's gaze indicated by the gaze information is directed at neither the first display nor the second display. In the situation, if a second event further occurs while the first display is displaying the first information because of the occurrence of a first event, the controller changes the display position of the second information to display the second information on the first display. In the situation, if the first event further occurs while the second display is displaying the second information because of the occurrence of the second event, the controller changes the display position of the first information to display the first information on the second display.
DISPLAY METHOD
A method includes detecting, with a sensor, a gaze of an occupant of a vehicle. The gaze is directed to at least one vehicle displays. The method also includes determining, with a controller circuit in communication with the sensor, whether one or more features presented on the at vehicle displays are partially obstructed from a view of the occupant. When the one or more features presented on vehicle displays are partially obstructed from the view of the occupant, the controller circuit adjusts a presentation of at least one partially obstructed features to be viewable by the occupant.
Sensor-based acknowledgments between road traffic participants
A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for sensor-based acknowledgments between road traffic participants. One or more cameras on a vehicle identify a gaze direction of a driver of the vehicle. The one or more cameras identify a focused eye state of the driver. One or more object recognition sensors on the vehicle identify objects around the vehicle. The computer system determines whether an object is identified in the gaze direction. In response to the object being identified in the gaze direction, the computer system instructs a light indicator to emit light in a direction toward the object. The light indicator notifies a traffic participant associated with the object that the driver has seen the object.
PROJECTION DISPLAY DEVICE
A projection display device includes a display device, an optical system, and a shielding plate. The optical system includes a first mirror and a second mirror provided on the regular optical path, the second mirrors being to provide an optical path convergence point on the regular optical path, and the first mirrors being provided at a position corresponding to the optical path convergence point. The projection display device is configured such that a position of a mirror surface of the first mirror and the second mirror is adjustable in accordance with a position of an eye point of a user so as to project the light toward the projection position that corresponds to the position of the eye point. The shielding plate is provided such that the shieling plate does not interfere with the regular optical path and such that the shielding plate interferes with the different optical path.
Display device, method for controlling display device, program, recording medium, and moving body equipped with display device
A display device has a movable screen that is movable in a movement direction, a drive controller, a projector, and a position detector. The drive controller moves the movable screen relative to a reference position set at a prescribed position in a movement range of the movable screen. The projector performs drawing on the movable screen by irradiating the movable screen with light used for scanning the movable screen and projects a virtual image onto a target space based on light that passes through the movable screen. The position detector executes position detection processing for detecting that the movable screen is located at a detection position set in relation to the prescribed position. The position detector moves the movable screen and executes the position detection processing in a non-display period in which the movable screen is not irradiated with light from the projector.
Vehicle systems and methods for determining target based on selecting a virtual eye position or a pointing direction
Vehicle systems and methods for determining a final target position based on either a first target position and a second target position are disclosed. A vehicle includes a user detection system configured to output a gesture signal in response to a hand of a user performing at least one gesture to indicate a final target position. The vehicle also includes a user gaze monitoring system configured to output an eye location signal that indicates an actual eye position of the user. The vehicle also includes one or more processors and one or more non-transitory memory modules communicatively coupled to the processors. The processors store machine-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to select either the first target position or the second target position as the final target position based on a first accuracy and a second accuracy.
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES AND METHODS OF USING SAME
A vehicle includes one or more sensors arranged on at least one of a dashboard, a roof, and a center console of the vehicle, or one or more image capturing devices for capturing one or more images from a left side and a right side of the vehicle, an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to communicate with the one or more sensors or the one or more image capturing devices, and at least one of a morphing surface, a windshield display, and one or more displays configured to be controlled by the ECU, where the one or more sensors are arranged under a black panel surface.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IMAGE PROCESSING, VEHICLE HEAD-UP DISPLAY SYSTEM AND VEHICLE
The present disclosure provides an image processing method applied to a vehicle head-up display device, including: determining position information of a target object within a range of activity; acquiring a distortion parameter corresponding to the position information by looking up a table; and performing distortion correction processing on an image to be displayed according to the distortion parameter, so as to obtain a distortion corrected image.
