Moodroof for augmented media experience in a vehicle cabin

In various embodiments, a moodroof media application provides media content into a vehicle cabin. In operation, the moodroof media application determines at least one state associated with the vehicle cabin based on sensor data from at least one sensor. The moodroof media application then receives media content associated with the at least one state. The moodroof media application further causes visual content associated with the media content to be displayed on at least one display surface positioned on a ceiling of the vehicle cabin.

Vehicle interior spotlight
09809162 · 2017-11-07 · ·

The invention relates to a vehicle interior light (3) for spot-illuminating a surface (10, 10′) inside the vehicle to be illuminated, comprising a light source, the main emitting direction of which does not coincide with the direction in which the surface to be illuminated lies, and a deflecting lens system, which alters both the opening angle and the direction of the central axis of the cone of light emitted by the light source. The deflecting lens system is formed by at least two lens bodies (14, 15, 16) arranged in succession in the beam path of the light source and working by means of light refraction, the central axes (18, 19, 20) and optically active lens surfaces of which lens bodies are inclined with respect to one another.
