A vehicle information display apparatus includes: at least one processor configured to receive a vehicle state of a vehicle, and detect a forward object ahead of the vehicle; a flip-dot display installed in the vehicle and configured to implement a pixel by rotating a flip disk; and an illumination module installed around the flip-dot display, and configured to illuminate a surface of the flip-dot display.

The disclosure includes a system and method for wireless data sharing between a mobile client device and a three-dimensional heads-up display unit. A system may include a three-dimensional heads-up display unit (“3D HUD”) installed in a vehicle. The system may include a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to: establish a peer-to-peer video stream between a mobile client device and the vehicle; generate live video data for providing a video stream for causing a screen of the mobile client device to display visual content of the 3D HUD that includes substantially live images depicting what the driver of the vehicle sees when looking at the 3D HUD; and stream the live video data to the mobile client device to cause the screen of the mobile client device to display the video stream that depicts what the driver of the vehicle sees when looking at the 3D HUD.

A vehicle for carrying at least one passenger is disclosed. The vehicle comprises at least one support mechanism for carrying a passenger of the vehicle. Each support mechanism includes at least one sensor attached to the passenger for measuring parameters of the passenger in relation to an environment of the vehicle and at least one display device for the passenger for displaying a virtual environment to the passenger based on the measured parameters of the passenger. Furthermore, an amusement ride and a method for displaying a virtual environment in a vehicle are described.

The present invention relates to a digital display device for mounting to a vehicle's front bumper. The device is used for customizing an exterior of the vehicle by displaying images, videos and messages as per the preference of the vehicle owner or driver. The display device is configured to connect to a computer implemented software application using a wireless channel for receiving one or more images, videos, or messages (collectively media) for display. The application enables users to subscribe to purchase media by making a payment and transmitting purchased media to the display device for displaying on the vehicle's exterior. The display device can also be configured to display a license plate number of the vehicle.

In a display control apparatus, it is determine whether video data transmitted to a display apparatus is reliable or unreliable. In response to determining that the video data transmitted to the display apparatus is unreliable, a predetermined process is executed.

An agent device includes: an agent functional unit configured to provide a service including an output of a response to a voice to an outputter in response to a speech of an occupant of a vehicle; and a display controller configured to cause a display provided in the vehicle to display an animation regarding an agent corresponding to the agent functional unit. The display controller moves the animation between a first display area included in the display and a second display area of which a position is different from a position of the first display area in the vehicle in response to an instruction from the occupant.

Embodiments of the present disclosure sets forth a computer-implemented method for playing back media content comprising determining, based on sensor data, a first mental state associated with a user accessing media content, and modifying playback of media content based on the first mental state.

A motor vehicle includes a rearview camera capturing images of a scene behind the motor vehicle. An electronic processor receives the images captured by the camera. A virtual image projection arrangement is communicatively coupled to the electronic processor and presents a virtual image dependent upon the images captured by the camera. The virtual image is visible by a driver of the vehicle after being reflected by a windshield.

A content display control apparatus includes an animation rule definition storage unit configured to store animation rule definitions. The content display control apparatus is configured to arbitrate animations based on the animation rule definitions stored in the animation rule definition storage unit in response to receiving a screen transition arbitration result and an animation execution state, and to execute the animations according to the screen transition arbitration result and an animation arbitration result.

The object of the invention is a method for securing a vehicle comprising a critical system including a display, the method comprising the following steps: acquisition of at least one video stream to be shown on the display; calculation of a brightness level of the or each video stream; if the brightness level of the video stream(s) meets a predefined criterion, then the video stream is displayed on the display; otherwise, display of the video stream is inhibited.
