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.

The present invention relates to a method for displaying augmented reality information in vehicles. In particular, the invention relates to a method for displaying an augmentation on a windshield (12) of a vehicle (10), taking into account an current viewing direction of an occupant. The method prepares (900) augmented reality information for display on the windshield (12); detects (910) the current viewing direction (R) of an occupant (F) with respect to the windshield (12); defines (930) a clearance area (A) of the windshield (12) around the current viewing direction (R); and displays (940) the prepared augmented reality information taking into account the defined clearance area (A) on the windshield (12).

An information processing apparatus, a vehicle, and an information processing method each capable of improving the visibility of an on-board meter panel. Information processing apparatus includes information acquirer that acquires traveling information on traveling of a vehicle including an on-board meter panel; and display pattern changer that changes a display pattern of the on-board meter panel in accordance with change in the traveling information.

A conditionally transparent touch control surface including a base layer, a display layer, and a surface layer. The display layer includes a plurality of display areas each with an OFF state and an ON state. The surface layer covers the plurality of display areas and each display area is visible through the surface layer only while that display area is in the ON state. The control surface is flexible and contours to a shape such as the shape of an interior surface of a vehicle. The display areas can be reconfigured to match with a specific function and to display a specific icon, and the display areas can be hidden from view when not in use.

A system for contemporaneously calibrating a gaze-tracking system and authorizing access to a first other system can include a processor and a memory. The memory can store a preliminary operations module, an authorization module, and a gaze-tracking module. The preliminary operations module can include instructions to compare a trajectory, of a point of gaze of an eye, with a pattern associated both with a calibration of the gaze-tracking system and with a first authorization process, that excludes an iris recognition process, for the first other system. The authorization module can include instructions to cause an access to the first other system to be authorized. The gaze-tracking module can include instructions to: (1) cause the gaze-tracking system to be calibrated and (2) cause, in response to the gaze-tracking system being calibrated, the gaze-tracking system to be configured to be a user interface for a second other system.

The subject disclosure relates to solutions for reducing or eliminating motion sickness experienced by a vehicle occupant/passenger. In some aspects, a process of the disclosed technology includes steps for collecting motion data associated with a vehicle using one or more environmental sensors, tracking eye movements of a user within a cabin of the vehicle, processing the motion data and the eye movements to identify a motion event, and generating a motion compensation signal based on the motion event. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Devices, methods and computer program products that facilitate automated adjustment of size or configuration of head up display image in a vehicle. A device can include a memory and a processor that executes computer executable modules. The computer executable modules can include: a head up display that generates an image visible to a driver of a vehicle within an eye box, a detection module that determines position of the driver's eyes or head relative to position of the eye box, and an adjustment module that adjusts size or configuration of the image within the eye box in response to the determined driver's eye or head position.

A display device is disclosed. The device includes: a display that is provided to a moving body; and a display controller that controls displaying, on the display, of a virtual object corresponding to an object seen through the display from inside of the moving body, based on a positional relationship between the object and the moving body.

The present disclosure facilitates providing a display control apparatus, a display control system, and a display control method. The display control apparatus includes: a first OS that controls execution of a first application for generating a first display image displayed on a first display apparatus mounted on a vehicle; a second OS that controls execution of a second application for generating a second display image displayed on a second display apparatus mounted on the vehicle; and a hypervisor that is executed on a processor and controls execution of the first OS and the second OS.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a system for controlling media play comprising: a control target recognition unit configured to recognize target medium that is to be controlled by the user, among mediums that are played using a vehicle display, a control command generation unit configured to generate a control command according to a result of recognizing a user's request for the target medium; and a medium control unit configured to control the target medium according to the control command.
