A virtual image display device according to an embodiment is a virtual image display device that displays information to a passenger on a vehicle. The virtual image display device includes a first virtual image display unit that displays a virtual image as information. The first virtual image display unit has a virtual image display portion that displays a virtual image and a rotating unit that rotates the virtual image display portion in a range in which the virtual image is visually recognizable by the passenger.

A method of operating virtual reality glasses in a vehicle in which a risk of motion sickness for a wearer of the virtual reality glasses is reduced with the aid of the method. A virtual reality system (IO) includes the virtual reality glasses and the vehicle. According to the method, a vehicle movement of the vehicle is evaluated in such a way that ultimately, after the image data describing the virtual surroundings have been split into a background image dataset and a foreground image dataset, a lateral offset for a position of an object in the foreground in comparison with the background is determined, so that virtual surroundings which are processed in this way can be determined and displayed. Alternatively, the virtual surroundings can be enlarged in accordance with the vehicle movement, and processed virtual surroundings can be determined by means of a movement of the enlarged virtual surroundings along a movement trajectory, and displayed.

A cluster according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a display and a spatial image panel. The display is installed in the vehicle to output predetermined information as a 2D image. The spatial image panel is configured to output a 3D image in a predetermined space in front. The spatial image panel includes a first lens array, a second lens array, and a refractive medium. The first lens array is disposed adjacent to the display and includes a plurality of first lenses arranged on the same plane. The second lens array is disposed in parallel with the first array so that the first lenses and second lenses overlap each other. The refractive medium is disposed between the first lens array and the second lens array.

A volume hologram is arranged inside a transparent portion of a pane of a display device for a vehicle. The display device further includes a light source by which light is coupled into the volume hologram. An image appearing three-dimensional to a human observer can be generated by use of the volume hologram. A camera includes a light-sensitive image sensor to acquire images via an optical unit which is at least partially formed by the transparent portion of the pane.

An agent apparatus includes a shift position detector and an agent controller. The shift position detector is configured to detect a shift position of a vehicle. The agent controller is configured to control a personified agent. The agent controller is configured to cause the agent to face a driver of the vehicle in a case where the shift position is in a parking range. Upon communicating information, the agent controller is configured to cause the agent to output the information using voice and a movement of arms of the agent.

Systems and methods for projecting a multi-faceted image onto a convex polyhedron based on an input image are described. A system can include a controller configured to determine a mapping between pixels within a wide-angle image and a multi-faceted image, and generate the multi-faceted image based on the mapping.

The invention relates to an area light decorative element (1) comprising an optically activatable symbol body (2) at least partially formed of a transparent optically activatable first material (9) and configured to emit visible light in response to the optically activatable symbol body (2) being excited with electromagnetic radiation in a predetermined first frequency range, a light element (3) consisting of a transparent material, wherein the optically activatable symbol body (2) is arranged in the light element (3), a touch-sensitive surface (4) disposed in a first area (5) of a surface of the light element (3) above the optically activatable symbol body (2) for detecting a touch of a user in the first area (5), and an illumination unit (6) which is arranged to emit visible light in a predetermined visible frequency range (22) into the light element (3) and, together with the visible light, also to emit electromagnetic radiation in the predetermined first frequency range into the light element (3).

A virtual 3D display for a motor vehicle includes a substrate and a flexible display positioned on the substrate. The flexible display is rollable and bendable within a cabin of the motor vehicle.

A three-dimensional display device includes a display panel that displays a parallax image, an optical panel including a plurality of less-transmissive portions and a plurality of transmissive portions repeatedly arranged alternately in a parallax direction, and a controller that controls the display panel. Each of the plurality of transmissive portions has a first width in the parallax direction greater than a second width of each of the plurality of less-transmissive portions in the parallax direction. The controller causes the display panel to display a black image in a binocular viewable area on the display panel viewable to two eyes of a user to allow parallax separation of the parallax image.

A three-dimensional display system includes a display panel, an optical element and a controller. The display panel includes an active area configured to display a parallax image. The optical element defines a light beam direction of the parallax image. The controller is configured to vary the parallax image based on positions of first and second eyes of the user. The optical element includes a plurality of optical means which are arranged in a parallax direction. The plurality of optical means extend along an inclination direction inclined to a reference direction with respect to a direction perpendicular to the parallax direction. The reference direction is defined, at least in a standard state, based on at least one of a position of the user in the parallax direction in an interior of the moving body and a position relative to the user of a predetermined facility mounted within the moving body.
