A vehicle interior component includes a first surface, a second surface that is adjacent to the first surface, an edge disposed between the first surface and the second surface, and an operating element where an item of operating information can be input by the operating element. The operating element is disposed adjacent to the edge on the first surface and/or on the second surface and the operating element is nonvisible in an inoperative state and is visible in an operative state.

The display system has a three-dimensional and curved display surface made up of a single electronic display screen or several joined electronic display screens, the display surface having at least one main zone dedicated to a pilot and suitable for being located in front of said pilot, the main zone being substantially planar or concave, and at least one lateral zone associated with each main zone, each lateral zone being concave and laterally extending the associated main zone.

A system and method displays information using a vehicle-mount computer. The system includes (i) an input device and a display device for inputting and displaying information; (ii) a motion detector for detecting vehicle motion; (iii) a proximity sensor for detecting proximity to an item; and (vi) a vehicle-mount computer in communication with the input device, the display device, the motion detector, and the proximity sensor, the vehicle-mount computer including a central processing unit and memory. The vehicle-mount computer's central processing unit is configured to store information associated with user-selected information from the input device and to display a zoomed view of the user-selected information on the display device. Further, the vehicle-mount computer's central processing unit is configured to override screen-blanking when user-selected information is displayed.

A heads up display system includes a display medium in combination with a dock or support configured to receiving a portable electronic device. The display of the portable electronic device is projected by the display medium, such as in a forward direction. The vehicle dashboard or a surrounding area can have an integral dock, which can be at a top of a gauge visor, bottom of a gauge visor, is displace below vehicle gauges. In each case, an aperture may be provide to provide a path from the display of the electronic device to the display medium. In some embodiments, the heads up display system may include a dedicated display that mirrors the display of the portable electronic device, via a wired or wireless connection.

A device for controlling the activation/deactivation of at least one function performed by electronic equipment of a vehicle comprises a screen able to display a first menu for activating/deactivating said functions, the first, menu including a plurality of displayed elements comprising, for at least one of the functions, a state of the function chosen from an activated state, a deactivated state and an unavailable state, the device comprising selection means for selecting and activating at least one displayed element, wherein, when the state of a function is the unavailable state, the first menu is designed to display an element associated with said unavailable function and the selection of which makes it possible to display an unavailability window containing unavailability information regarding the unavailable state.

An anti-motion sickness device for a motor vehicle includes a triaxial accelerometer to detect vehicle accelerations along three axes and to emit a corresponding acceleration signal; a display component of light markers to form two artificial horizon lines at two inner surfaces, respectively of the vehicle. The horizon lines are perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to each other. The device includes a control unit for receiving the acceleration signals emitted by the accelerometer and capable of driving the display component such that the horizon lines are aligned in a horizontal plane, perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the gravity vector regardless of vehicle accelerations. The position of the horizontal plane along a direction parallel to the gravity vector varies as a function of a physical parameter related to the person sitting in the vehicle by being positioned adjacent the first inner surface and in front of the second inner surface.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an interaction system for a first vehicle is provided, which comprises a processor and a memory storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the latter to implement steps comprising: receiving a first input from the first vehicle and displaying a first avatar on a display; and receiving a second input from a second vehicle and displaying a second avatar on the display, wherein the first input and the second input are updated in real time, and the first avatar and the second avatar dynamically change accordingly.

An apparatus for a passenger compartment of a vehicle includes a display panel having an external portion and an internal portion. The passenger compartment is delimited by paneling to separate the passenger compartment from a region outside of the passenger compartment. The internal portion of the display panel is in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The external portion of the display panel, separated from the passenger compartment by the paneling, is in the region outside of the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The external portion of the display panel is to generate an external display content inside of the region. The apparatus includes a strip in a first opening of the paneling. The strip is to project the external display content of the external portion of the display panel out of the region that is separated from the passenger compartment by the paneling and into the passenger compartment.

A component for a vehicle interior may comprise a housing; a cover structure comprising a cover surface; and a user interface at the cover surface comprising a light display. The light display may comprise a light guide comprising a projection. The cover structure may comprise a cover base and a cover layer. The cover layer may be molded on the cover base. The cover base may comprise the light guide. The cover layer may comprise an aperture. The projection may extend into the aperture. The cover base may comprise an aperture, recess, notch and/or indentation. The cover layer may comprise a generally opaque material preventing visibility of a recess in the cover base. The cover base may comprise a different color and/or softness than the cover layer. The cover structure may comprise apertures and/or recesses for the light guide.

The present invention relates to a vehicle user interface device including a display configured to display a first Augmented Reality (AR) graphic object at a point in a display area corresponding to a first point, and at least one processor configured to obtain distance data between a vehicle and the first point and change the first AR graphic object based on the distance data.
