A method for providing a machine operator with an augmented reality view of an environment includes determining a location and orientation of a vehicle. An eye position and gaze of an operator of the vehicle are also determined. Job information to be displayed to the operator of the vehicle is determined based on the location of the vehicle and the orientation of the vehicle. The job information is displayed to the operator based on the eye position and gaze of the operator of the vehicle. In one embodiment, environmental features that can be seen through the windscreen are determined. The job information displayed to the operator is modified based on the environmental features.

A resin molded article is applied to a vehicle display device for displaying information on a vehicle, and a high gloss region having a relatively high surface glossiness and a low gloss region having a relatively low surface glossiness are integrally molded. As a result, since the high gloss region and the low gloss region having different surface glossiness are integrally formed in a single resin molded article 1, the resin molded article and the vehicle display device obtain an effect such that various appearances are created with a simple structure.

A method for displaying data is performed by a vehicle including a first operating system and a second operating system, and includes: acquiring operating condition information of the vehicle; displaying the operating condition information in a first display mode by the first operating system and displaying the operating condition information in a second display mode by the second operating system, wherein data displayed in the first display mode is configured to cover data displayed in the second display mode; displaying the operating condition information in the first display mode by the second operating system in response to determining that a failure happens in the operating condition information displayed in the first display mode by the first operating system.

A display obscuration tool for identifying one or more obscured zones within a display, such as surface areas of the display blocked from view. The tool may include a spatial detection module configured for determining a relative positioning between a display onboard a vehicle, a steering wheel or other implement onboard the vehicle, and a driver, and a gaze detection module configured for determining a field of view for the driver. The tool may further include an obscuration module configured for identifying one or more obscured zones based at least in part on the relative positioning and the field of view.

A sight line input apparatus includes: a display portion that displays an input item at a position where the input item is viewable from a driver seat; a setup portion that sets a virtual input region at a position displaced from a display region of the display portion toward a driving visual field of the driver, the virtual input region being associated with the input item; a detection portion that detects a sight line position of a driver; and an input controller that performs an input process in accordance with the input item associated with the virtual input region, when the sight line position is in the virtual input region set by the setup portion. When a predetermined operation of the driver is detected, the setup portion changes the virtual input region into a mode that permits the driver to gaze at the virtual input region with ease.

Dynamic trip planning via a vehicle interface is provided. A system identifies a drive route for a vehicle. The drive route includes a first charger at a first location along the drive route configured to charge a battery of the vehicle. The system receives, via a communication session established with a mobile device, a command. The command is to add a stop to the drive route at a second location. The system determines, responsive to the command to add the stop at the second location, that the second location is within a threshold distance of a second charger configured to charge the battery of the vehicle. The system updates, based on a comparison of the first location with the second location, the drive route to add the second charger at the second location and remove the first charger at the first location.

A 3D display apparatus includes: a display including a display panel displaying information and a barrier panel overlapped with a front surface of the display panel; a camera configured to obtain an image of a user; a graphic processor configured to control a barrier of the barrier panel; and a controller configured to recognize a sight line of the user or a face of the user using the image of the user obtained by the camera, to set a fixed focus of the camera in the sight line or the face of the user recognized by the camera, to determine whether an error occurs in the recognition of the sight line or the face of the user by the camera after the fixed focus is set, and to control the graphic processor based on whether the error occurs so as to control the barrier in the recognition of the sight line or the face of the user.

A method for operating a motor vehicle involves displaying a first assistance graphic of a first active driver assistance system in a first display mode on at least one display device of the motor vehicle when the motor vehicle is operated in a first driving mode, and displaying the first assistance graphic of the first active driver assistance system in a second display mode on the at least one display device when the motor vehicle is operated in a second driving mode that is different from the first driving mode. The first assistance graphic is displayed in a first perspective in the first display mode and is displayed in a second perspective, which is different from the first perspective, in the second display mode.

In a method for supplying a graphical user interface in a vehicle, at least one object for representing a first subset of total information is graphically displayed on a display area in at least one first display mode. An operating intention of a user is detected. In addition, a relative position of the user with respect to the display area is ascertained. When the operating intention of the user has been detected, the object is transferred into a second display mode, in which the object is displayed perspectively or three-dimensionally pivoted about an axis at a pivoting angle in the direction of the relative position. In addition, a device is adapted for providing a graphical user interface.

A display apparatus for a vehicle includes: first, second, and third displays located in the vehicle, a first signal processing device comprising a first processor configured to perform signal processing for the first display and the second display, and a second signal processing device comprising a second processor configured to perform signal processing for the third display. The first processor is configured to execute first, second, and third virtual machines on a hypervisor in the first processor. The first virtual machine is configured to transmit, from at least one of the second virtual machine or the third virtual machine to the second signal processing device, a remote processing request, receive image data processed by the second signal processing device in response to the remote processing request, and control at least one of the first display or the second display to display an image related to the received image data.
