Disclosed is an air imaging apparatus for a vehicle. The air imaging apparatus for vehicle being mounted in a vehicle, comprises: an image source configured for generating a graphic for display; and an imaging magnifier configured for magnifying the graphic generated by the image source and forming a real image in the air inside a vehicle. Further disclosed is a human-machine interactive in-vehicle assistance system, comprising the air imaging apparatus for vehicle as described above and a gesture recognition apparatus nearby the real image. With the enlarged image, the icons for displaying contents are also enlarged; as such, the gesture recognition apparatus can easily recognize which command icon is to be touched by the user's gesture. The gesture sliding distance is also correspondingly enlarged for the user's sliding gesture operation, which significantly lowers the requirement on the precision of the gesture recognition apparatus.

A three-dimensional display device includes a display panel, a controller, and a communication unit. The display panel is configured to display an image. An optical element is configured to define a propagation direction of image light emitted from the display panel. The communication unit is configured to receive a captured image of first eye and second eye different from the first eye, of a user. The controller causes the display panel to display a calibration image. The controller is configured so that, based on cornea images of different parts of the calibration image in the captured image that are viewed with the first eye and the second eye of the user, respectively, a parallax image is displayed on the display panel.

Provided are a head up display system and a vehicle. The head up display system includes a control module, an image source module and an imaging module. The image source module includes a display component and a dimming component, and the dimming component includes a polarization state adjusting unit, a metal wire grid and a reflector. The display component is electrically connected to the control module. The polarization state adjusting unit is configured to modulate the imaging light into polarized light in a first polarization direction and polarized light in a second polarization direction. The imaging module is configured to transmit the polarized light in the first polarization direction or the polarized light in the second polarization direction to a windshield, and the windshield reflects the first polarization direction or the polarized light in the second polarization direction into a human eye for imaging.

A method of emergency braking of a vehicle includes: displaying a brake button in a vehicle; determining pre-touch information on a distance before the brake button is touched by a user; determining post-touch information on a distance after the brake button is touched; and performing any one of a first brake control in which general braking is performed according to the degree of the pressing of the brake button and braking force is added from a first time point after the brake button is pressed, a second brake control in which the general braking is performed and braking force is added from a second time point that is after the first time point, and a third brake control in which the general braking is performed according to the pre-touch information and the post-touch information.

A stereoscopic virtual image display module includes a display panel, a first optical device set, and a second optical device. The display panel includes an active area that outputs image light. The first optical device set reflects the image light toward a user to allow the user to view a virtual image corresponding to the active area. The second optical device changes or restricts a ray direction of the image light traveling from a first active area included in the active area through the first optical device set toward the user. The second optical device allows first image light to enter a left eye and allows second image light to enter a right eye. The module allows each eye of the user to view a virtual image corresponding to the first active area at a first pixel density higher than or equal to 60 pixels per degree.

An image display module includes a display that displays a parallax image projected to eyes of a user, a barrier that causes parallax between the eyes by defining a traveling direction of image light for the parallax image, and a controller that controls the display. The controller divides the display into a plurality of display control areas based on distortion of the parallax image projected, and controls, for each of the plurality of display control areas, a minimum repeat unit and an index for the parallax image.

Embodiments of this disclosure pertain to a vehicle interior system comprising a base having a base surface; and a glass article coupled to the surface, wherein the glass article comprises a first portion comprising a first elastically deformed surface forming a first concave shape with a first radius of curvature from about 20 mm to about 2000 mm, and a second elastically deformed surface directly opposite the first elastically deformed surface that forms a second convex shape, wherein the second elastically deformed surface has a surface compressive stress that is less than a compressive stress at the first elastically deformed surface, and a second portion adjacent the first portion, wherein the second portion is substantially planar portion or curved.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) image. A 3D display apparatus includes an optical layer including a plurality of optical elements, a projector configured to scan a light onto the optical layer, and a processor configured to control a timing at which the projector scans the light onto the optical layer and generate a 3D image in a viewing space based on the timing at which the light is scanned onto the optical layer.

Provided are an image processing method and an image processing device. The image processing method includes generating an image based on viewpoint information of a user; rendering the image based on information about what is in front of the user; and outputting the rendered image using an optical element.
