Systems and methods for controlling a head-up display (HUD) in a vehicle are disclosed herein. One embodiment deactivates the HUD in response to a command from a driver of the vehicle; assigns a level of urgency to an item of information associated with a current vehicular context; and activates the HUD to display the item of information to the driver, when the level of urgency exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Display Controlling Device and Display Controlling Method

A display controlling device includes a position detecting unit for detecting a position of the head of a driver and a position of an eye of the driver; a region adjusting unit for adjusting the position of a region, to be displayed on a display, in an outside image, depending on the detection result by the position detecting unit; and a display controlling unit for displaying, on the display, a region corresponding to the region of the position adjusted by the region adjusting unit. When there is a change in the position of the head so as to move in both the vertical direction in the crosswise direction of the vehicle, the region adjusting unit prevents adjustment of the position of the region to a position corresponding to the change, in the vertical direction, of the position of the eye, and adjusts the position of the region to a position corresponding to a change in the position of the eye in the crosswise direction and/or the front/rear direction.
