A method for in-vehicle dynamic virtual reality includes receiving vehicle data and user data from one or more portable devices, wherein the vehicle data comprises vehicle dynamics data of the vehicle. The method includes generating a virtual view based on the vehicle data, the user data and a virtual world model. The virtual world model including one or more components that define the virtual view and wherein generating the virtual view includes augmenting one or more components of the virtual world model according to at least one of the vehicle data and the user data. The method includes rendering the virtual view to an output device by controlling the output device to update display of the virtual view according to at least one of the vehicle data or the user data.

A key fob device, in one embodiment, includes a transceiver that receives and sends signals, a memory that stores a public key and a certificate of authenticity associated with the key fob device, and a processor coupled to the transceiver and memory. The processor is configured to execute instructions causing the key fob device to transmit the public key and the certificate of authenticity, execute a public key agreement protocol to generate a common secret encryption key, and receive an operation key encrypted with the common secret encryption key.

A dustproof cover having a reduced size in a depth direction is formed. In displaying a virtual image (53) visible to a driver by reflecting projection light projected in front of a driver on a windshield (light-transmitting member), a dustproof cover provided in a path of the projection light to close an opening (29) includes a recessed surface provided throughout a front and rear direction of a vehicle (10) and a cylindrical surface provided such that the recessed surface is continuous throughout a right and left direction of the vehicle (10). Curvatures of the recessed surface are configured to increase toward a front side of the vehicle (10), and therefore outer light entering the opening (29) from a position above the vehicle (10) is reflected in a direction invisible to the driver.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a display method for use in vehicle, comprising obtaining information (step 210) associated with a vehicle or image data for a region ahead of the vehicle, and displaying (step 230) one or more of a graphical representation of at least one component of the vehicle having one or more characteristics based on the information associated with the vehicle, or a representation of the image data, wherein the representation is arranged to overlie a portion of the vehicle (320) to be indicative of a portion of the vehicle being at least partly transparent.

A processing apparatus includes a distance image acquirer, a moving-object detector, and a danger-level determining unit. The distance image acquirer acquires a distance image containing distance information of each pixel. The moving-object detector detects a moving object from the distance image. The danger-level determining unit determines a danger level of the moving object by use of the distance image, and outputs the danger level to a controller that controls a controlled unit in accordance with the danger level.

A computer-implemented method for rendering views to an output device in a vehicle that is restricted to a fixed track that has a predetermined fixed path. Vehicle data about the vehicle is received from an off-vehicle device that is located remotely from the vehicle and along the predetermined fixed path. The vehicle data includes a velocity, an orientation, and a location of the vehicle. User data about a user in a vehicle is received that includes a velocity, an orientation, and a location. The method includes generating a view based on the vehicle data, the user data, and a model. The model includes one or more components that define the view. The method includes determining a difference between the vehicle data and the user data, and rendering the view to the output device by controlling the output device to display the view according to the determined difference.

This disclosure relates to the technical field of display apparatus, and in particular to a display apparatus and a vehicle utilizing the same. The display apparatus comprises a transmitting device for forming privacy images on a front windshield of a vehicle body and polarized glasses for viewing the privacy images. In the above technical solutions, privacy images are formed on the front windshield of the vehicle body by the transmitting device, such that the formed images will not interfere with the driver's driving. Meanwhile, the passengers can view the images on the front windshield by wearing the polarized glasses. By using the above transmitting device to form privacy images on the front windshield, an area of display is enlarged to facilitate the passengers' viewing. Passengers sitting in the rear portion of the vehicle can clearly view the images, and the visual effect during the passengers' viewing is improved.

A motor vehicle having a rear view device with no wing mirrors is disclosed. The rear view device includes at least one camera, by which at least one part of a rear space/traffic situation can be recorded, and at least one screen, on which the image section recorded by the at least one camera can be displayed. The at least one screen is arranged on a console of a side door protruding towards the vehicle interior, where this console engages at least partially with a recess of the dashboard when the side door is closed.

A windshield for a motor vehicle with a display unit is disclosed. The windshield is realized in the form of a laminated glass pane with at least an outer pane, an inner pane and an intermediate compound foil. The display unit is arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane, wherein the display unit features a flexible printed circuit and at least one display element arranged on the flexible printed circuit, as well as a secondary coil. The secondary coil is designed for making available electrical energy, which is inductively coupled into the secondary coil, in order to supply the display unit with energy. The present disclosure furthermore relates to a system, as well as a motor vehicle.

A personal device may include a display and a processor. The processor of the personal device may be programmed to send, to the display, a vehicle interior map overlaid with indications of in-vehicle components, create a group of the in-vehicle components responsive to receipt of a swipe gesture to the display selecting a subset of the indications, receive input from the display of a location on the map, and aim outputs of the in-vehicle components of the group based on the location.
