A system includes a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to determine a vehicle ride height, determine an angle of a display projector in a vehicle instrument panel based on the ride height, and actuate a motor to move the display projector to the projector angle.

A disclosed adjustable display assembly includes a display viewable by a vehicle occupant, a mount supporting the display relative to the vehicle occupant. The mount is movable to adjust a position of the display relative to the vehicle occupant. A controller receives information utilized to determine an orientation of the display that would result in a reflection effecting viewing of the display by the vehicle occupant and commanding movement of the mount to eliminate reflections on the display viewable by the vehicle occupant.

An output processing device according to an embodiment includes reception, setting, decision, and adjusting units. The reception unit receives an output request including (i) output information to be output from at least one of a plurality of output units and (ii) information on a priority for outputting the output information. The setting unit sets a threshold of the priority for each of the plurality of output units. The decision unit decides from among the plurality of output units, based on the threshold set by the setting unit, an output destination of the output information included in the output request. The adjusting unit executes based on the priority, when the output unit, which is the output destination decided by the decision unit, is outputting other output information, an adjustment of whether to output, in an interrupted manner, the output information included in the output request received by the reception unit.

A vehicle includes a battery that is mounted as a power source in the vehicle and an instrument panel that displays, to a user of the vehicle, an index (a capacity retention ratio Q or an electric vehicle (EV) travelable distance) indicating a larger value as deterioration of the battery progresses less. The instrument panel displays a maximum value of the index until a predetermined condition has been satisfied.

Methods and systems for controlling a rotary dial input device are provided. A dial of the rotary dial input device may have a specific mass that, in conjunction with a low-friction rotational bearing system, provides a momentum scrolling effect when physically spun and released. Upon spinning the dial freely, without subsequent user contact, the mass and velocity of the rotating dial provides momentum that causes the dial to continue to rotate for one or more revolutions. During this rotation a corresponding effect may be provided, or dynamically rendered, to a user interface display device. Such an effect may scroll a list of objects displayed at the same, or a substantially similar, rate of speed to that of the dial rotating under momentum.

A multiple input rotary dial user interface device and system is provided. The rotary dial user interface device may include a rotationally fixed touchpad, disposed within a center of a rotatable dial. Although fixed rotationally, the touchpad of the rotary dial user interface device may move in a linear axial direction, along the rotational axis, with or independently of the rotary dial. In addition to providing input by rotating the rotary dial, a user can provide input via touching the touchpad, actuating the touchpad, and/or actuating the rotary dial in the linear axial direction. In some cases, the rotary dial user interface device may employ the use of a static rotary encoder sensing rotation of an encoder wheel affixed to the rotary dial to determine momentum characteristics associated with the dial.

A method, apparatus, and vehicle for controlling an on-vehicle display system are provided. The control method includes selecting, one of a display mode for information display and a non-display mode for light control in a vehicle, as a target operation mode. The control method also includes controlling the on-vehicle display system to display effective information when the target operation mode is the display mode. Further, the control method includes controlling the on-vehicle display system to control light in the vehicle when the target operation mode is the auxiliary mode.

A method for the contactless shifting of visual information includes detecting at least one viewing direction to detect visual information in a first display area, and a movement of a hand and/or a movement of a head of a user toward a second display area. After the detection of the visual information in the first display area, and after the detected motion indicating a shift, the visual information is shown in the second display area upon the completion of the pivoting movement or movements.

A projection display device mounted in a vehicle includes a light modulation unit that spatially modulates, in accordance with image data that has been input, light emitted by a light source; a projection optical system that projects the light that has been spatially modulated onto a projection surface of the vehicle; and an image data control unit 63 that controls image data to be input to the light modulation unit. The image data control unit 63 performs, in a first mode in which driving is performed in accordance with an internally generated instruction or an externally and wirelessly received instruction, control to switch between projection of image light for normal display onto the projection surface 2 and projection of image light for warning display onto the projection surface 2.

A heads-up display system includes a re-positionable projector that projects an image of data to any one of a plurality of image positions on a windshield. With the image being centered in front of a vehicle operator, the image defines a predetermined aspect ratio. An electronic controller is configured to compensate for distortion of the image and maintain the predetermined aspect ratio in response to the image being moved away from the centered position.
