A method represents an environment via a display unit arranged on a person and visible for the person as a display image within the scope of a simulation. The simulation is carried out in an interaction environment, wherein a number of actuatable interaction elements are arranged in the interaction environment. An interaction environment image capture, depicting the interaction environment, is created by use of a first image capturing unit arranged on the person or relative to the person. A position of the person is determined in the interaction environment and based on the position of the person an environment image is provided. An image mask is provided which depicts the individual interaction elements contained in the interaction environment image capture and is represented in the display image. The interaction environment image capture and the environment image are superimposed using the image mask and then displayed on the display unit.

The invention is a control device intended for the choice and the selection of functions in a vehicle. The device comprises three binary active sensors, arranged on an electronic board fixed in a case, the sensors switch on the passage of passive markers arranged on a support displaceable by means of a manipulable control element. The support being displaceable in translation along a first longitudinal main axis towards a front position and a rear position and perpendicularly along a second transversal main axis towards a right position and a left position, and in rotation about a normal axis perpendicular to the main axes in the clockwise direction and in the anticlockwise direction. The marker support and the control element are moreover connected to an indexing and return means which biases them permanently towards a neutral position.

An operator station includes a console, a rail, a slider assembly, a suspension mechanism, a platform, a display mounting assembly, and a display. The console includes a lever and at least one locking pin. The rail selectively engages with the lever. The slider assembly slidably engages with the rail. The suspension mechanism operatively associates with the slider assembly and with the rail. The platform operatively associates with the slider assembly, tiltably associates with the console, and slidably selectively engages with the at least one locking pin. The display mounting assembly operatively associates with the slider assembly. The display operatively associates with the display mounting assembly.

A vision system for a vehicle includes a camera having a field of view that encompasses a front seat of the vehicle so as to capture images of an occupant of the vehicle. An image processor is provided with image data captured by the camera and the image processor image processes image data captured by the camera. The image processor, responsive at least in part to image processing of image data captured by the camera, recognizes movement representative of a hand gesture made by the occupant of the vehicle. The image processor is a system-on-a-chip image processor. The control may control a device of the vehicle responsive at least in part to the recognition of the hand gesture.

Embodiments are disclosed for an in-vehicle system and methods of controlling vehicle systems with a mobile device in communication with the in-vehicle system. In one embodiment, an in-vehicle system includes a display device and an interface system communicatively connected to one or more vehicle sensors. The interface system may be configured to receive sensor signals from the one or more vehicle sensors, transmit the sensor signals to a mobile device, receive control signals from the mobile device, and transmit the control signals to a target vehicle system, the control signals responsive to the one or more vehicle sensors.

A head-up display device projects a display onto a projection area of a vehicle. An adjusting apparatus is coupled to the head-up display device and an operator control device to adjust at least one of the horizontal and vertical positions of the viewing window of the head-up display device in response to an operator control action. A sensing device senses and evaluates a line of vision of a user of the head-up display device. A system control device, coupled to the adjusting apparatus and the sensing device, engages and/or toggles the adjusting apparatus to adjust the horizontal and/or vertical viewing window of the head-up display device of the vehicle, provided that, and so long as, the sensing device recognizes that the user looks in the direction of the projection area.

The present invention relates to a heated joystick that is configured to be used with heavy-duty machines, excavators, snowplows, dump trucks and the like. The heated joystick comprises integrated heating elements for heating the surface of the joystick, a controller for controlling the operation of the integrated heating elements, and a wiring circuit to power the integrated heating elements and the controller. The wiring circuit can be connected to an external battery or to the vehicle's power system to supply power to the heated joystick. The heated joystick with the integrated heating elements provides heating of a joystick surface, thereby allowing an operator to easily hold the joystick with their bare hands in cold weather conditions.

A mower includes: a left panel positioned on a left side of a driver's seat. The driver's seat is positioned rearward of a mower unit. A display unit is arranged in an area of the left panel. A line linking a left front corner area of the mower unit and a top center portion of a seat back of the driver's seat passes through the display unit. The display unit is arranged so that a screen of the display unit faces the top center portion of the seat back.

A touch input device includes: a protrusion unit that protrudes from a mounting surface, includes an outer surface portion provided on an outer surface of the protrusion unit, and is configured to receive a touch input; and a recessed unit formed inside the protrusion unit. The outer surface portion is configured to receive a touch input in a protrusion direction of the protrusion unit and in an opposite direction to the protrusion direction of the protrusion unit.

A construction machine includes an image capturing device configured to capture an image of the surroundings, an image display part mounted in an operator's cab and configured to display a menu screen showing an operating condition and various settings, or the captured image captured with the image capturing device, an operation part including a menu switch to cause the menu screen to be displayed on the image display part, and a detector configured to detect whether a work element is enabled or disabled. The image display part is configured to display a warning in response to the menu switch being operated while the work element is enabled.
