The present disclosure provides a smart window, a control method thereof, and a transport vehicle. The smart window may include a detector, a collector, a displayer and a processor. The detector is configured to detect whether a close-range scene exists. The collector is configured to collect position information of a human eye. The processor is connected to the detector and the collector, and configured to calculate coordinates of the close-range scene, calculate coordinates of the human eye according to the position information of the human eye, obtain a frame-extracted area according to the coordinates of the close-range scene and coordinates of the human eye, perform black insertion for pixels in the frame-extracted area in the displayer, and generate a display signal. The displayer is connected to the processor and configured to display according to the display signal.

During a journey using a motor vehicle, a virtual environment is displayed by use of a display device and additionally a virtual representation of a route layout located in front of the motor vehicle is also displayed by use of the display device within the virtual environment. The display device may be used in the motor vehicle.

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.

A VR system for vehicles that may implement methods that address problems with vehicles in motion that may result in motion sickness for passengers. The VR system may provide augmented or virtual views that match visual cues with the physical motions that a passenger experiences. The VR system may project virtual content so that the content appears as a distant object stabilized or fixed in the external environment. The VR system may aid in productivity, as passengers may perform work while riding in the vehicle without experiencing motion sickness. In addition, the VR system may provide enhanced virtual experiences to passengers in moving vehicles by matching accelerations and motions of the vehicle to accelerations and motions in the virtual experiences.

A circuit device (100) includes a coordinate transform circuit (20) and a mapping processing circuit (30). The coordinate transform circuit (20) performs coordinate transformation from an input coordinate (IXY1) to an output coordinate (QXY1). The mapping processing circuit (30) generates a second image (IMG2) to be displayed in a display panel for displaying an image in a curved screen display by performing mapping processing on a first image (IMG1) that is input based on the output coordinate (QXY1). The coordinate transform circuit (20) performs the coordinate transformation from the input coordinate (IXY1) to the output coordinate (QXY1) by performing computation processing using a second or more order polynomial representing the coordinate transformation.

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.

A head-up display system for a motor vehicle includes a projection unit for providing a display image; a transparent, holographic optical fiber display panel for outputting, on a display surface, a display image that is coupled into the display panel via a coupling-in region; and a guide device designed to move the display panel between an operational position and a parked position.

A vehicle includes a controller programmed to, responsive to detecting a barcode displayed outside the vehicle via an exterior sensor, decode the barcode, and project an image representing an information decoded from the barcode on a windshield of the vehicle, the image overlaying the barcode from a perspective of a user.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an Augmented Reality (AR) method and apparatus for driving assistance, which are applied in the technical field of AR. The method comprises the steps of: determining, based on information acquired during the driving process, driving assistance information, and displaying virtual three dimensional (3D) display information corresponding to the driving assistance information. In the present invention, the AR technology can be applied in the vehicle travelling process to assist a driver in better mastering driving information in the vehicle travelling process, and the user experience can be improved.

An image synthesizer apparatus for vehicle includes an image generator and an error detector. From multiple cameras arranged to a vehicle so that an imaging region of each camera partially overlaps with an imaging region of an adjacent camera, the image generator acquires images of areas allocated to the respective cameras, and synthesizes the acquired images to generate a synthetic image around the vehicle viewed from a viewpoint above the vehicle. The error detector detects errors in the cameras. When the error detector detects a faulty camera in the cameras, the image generator acquires, from the image captured by the camera adjacent to the faulty camera, an overlap portion overlapping with the image captured by the faulty camera, uses the overlap portion to generate the synthetic image, and applies image reinforcement to the overlap portion.
