A head-up display includes a display device and an optical system. The display device includes a display panel, an input unit, a memory, and a controller. The display panel is configured to display an image. The input unit is configured to receive calibration information indicating a position of a calibration object and first position information indicating positions of user's eyes based on an image capturing device. The memory is configured to store the calibration information. The optical system is configured to allow a user to visually recognize a virtual image plane, which is a virtual image of the image displayed on the display panel, by reflecting image light emitted corresponding to the image toward the user's eyes. The controller is configured to convert the first position information into second position information indicating the positions of the eyes based on the virtual image plane by using the calibration information.

The operating device for a vehicle is provided with a housing having a front wall. At least one operating element is arranged on the front wall and can be manually actuated starting from a rest position for the purpose of entering a command or activating a function. The operating element is associated with a switch having a switching member on which the operating key acts during manual operation. Furthermore, a support element is arranged in the housing at a distance from the operating element, on which support element the switch associated with the operating element is arranged, the support element having a bending bar with an upper side facing the operating element and a lower side facing away from the upper side, and the switch being arranged on the bending bar. Finally, the operating device is provided with an adjustment member acting on the bending bar for adjusting the bending position of the bending bar relative to the operating element in its resting position and for maintaining and thus stabilizing the bending bar in its adjusted bending position when the operating element acts on the switching member. The adjustment member comprises a threaded sleeve with an internal thread and a self-tapping adjustment screw with a threaded shaft, wherein the internal thread of the threaded sleeve and the external thread of the threaded shaft of the self-tapping adjustment screw have the same or substantially the same pitch.

A diaphragm for performing image position correction of a virtual image projectable onto a windshield of a vehicle by a head-up display. A first positioning mark, a second positioning mark, and a calibration mark are attached to a disk of the diaphragm. The disk is transparent at least in the region of the first positioning mark, the second positioning mark, and the calibration mark, so that a first image including the first positioning mark and a first positioning pattern recorded directly through the disk and output on the vehicle side, a second image including the second positioning mark and a second positioning pattern output on the vehicle side, mirrored by a mirror of the diaphragm and recorded through the disk.

A vehicle head-up display apparatus and manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The present disclosure in some embodiments provides a vehicle head-up display apparatus including a lower case, an aspherical mirror, a plurality of plate springs, and a screen. The aspherical mirror has opposite ends respectively formed with spherical mounts that rotatably attach the aspherical mirror to the lower case. Each of the plate springs are respectively positioned above one of the spherical mounts to limit displacements of the spherical mounts. The screen includes at least one or more combining holes configured to be coupled with the plate springs and is configured to be coupled with the lower case. Here, the lower case includes a plurality of reception blocks configured to seat the spherical mounts from underneath and formed in a shape conformable to the spherical mounts to allow no clearance against the spherical mounts. At least one of the reception blocks include a support unit wherein one or more the support units are inclined toward a rotation axis of the aspherical mirror.

Method and system for demonstrating a function of a vehicle-mounted heads up display are disclosed. The method includes setting a projection region for displaying a first image, obtaining relative position and relative size relationships between the projection region and the virtual display region, projecting the first image in the projection region, capturing a second image of the first image, generating a virtual recognition region in the second image, determining whether an object in the second image is located within the virtual recognition region, and determining, in a case that the object is located within the virtual recognition region, a first position of the object within the virtual recognition region, determining, based on the first position, a display position of a virtual marker representative of the object within the virtual display region, and displaying the virtual marker at the display position within the virtual display region.

The present invention relates to an image output device mounted on a vehicle to implement augmented reality. One or more of an autonomous driving vehicle, a user terminal, and a server of the present invention can be linked to an artificial intelligence module, a drone (unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV), a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, a device related to 5G services, etc.

An illumination device for a motor vehicle for displaying a linear light including a plurality of optical waveguides, an illuminating element having a plurality of light sources for coupling light into a respective first end face of the plurality of optical waveguides, and an emitting part for generating a linear light distribution, the optical waveguides being arranged with a respective second end face, which is different from the first end face, through the emitting part relative to one another along precisely one line.

A method includes placing a physical target on a windshield of a vehicle, mounting a fixture inside the vehicle to position a camera array on the fixture within a line of sight of a passenger, capturing images of the physical target using the camera array, and determining a difference between actual and target locations of the physical target in each image. In addition, the method includes controlling the HUD to display a virtual target on the windshield, capturing images of the virtual target using the camera array, and determining a target location of the virtual target in each image based on the difference. Further, the method includes determining an offset between an actual location of the virtual target in each image and the target location of the virtual target in each image, and adjusting the location of an image projected onto the windshield by the HUD based on the offset.

A method of controlling augmented reality (AR) mobility according to embodiments may include generating, by a camera, image data by photographing one or more users, extracting information about the one or more users from the image data, calculating a reference point for projection of an AR object based on the location information about the users, and displaying the AR object on a display based on the calculated reference point. An apparatus for controlling AR mobility according to embodiments may include a camera configured to generate image data by photographing one or more users, a controller configured to extract information about the one or more users from the image data, a calibrator configured to calculate a reference point for projection of an AR object based on the location information about the users, and a display configured to display the AR object on a display based on the calculated reference point.
