A head-up display includes: a combiner; a display device that emits display light representing information; and a housing that houses the display device. Furthermore, the combiner includes a first surface and a second surface on a back side of the first surface. Furthermore, a reflective film that reflects the display light emitted by the display device is provided on the first surface. Lastly, a low-reflective portion that has a reflectivity lower than a reflectivity of the first surface is provided on the second surface.

A chip architecture for a metaverse incorporated automobile system, comprising: an input module to provide other modules in the chip architecture with one or more inputs; an output module to output data received from other modules in the chip architecture to various actuators; an object module to manage data and structures relating to objects in the metaverse incorporated automobile system, in particular currency, payments, history, or any other item belonging to the metaverse; a view module to present and/or visualize the data and structures of the metaverse incorporated automobile system, and realizes user interactions; a control module to control data and structures of the object module and the view module; and a communication infrastructure to enable exchange of information across the modules.

A head-up display device that displays information including a video in a part of a field of view of an operator (407) includes a video display device (420) that is arranged at a position deviated from the field of view of the operator and generates and projects video light for projecting the information and a transparent screen (410) that is arranged in a part of the field of view of the operator, and transmit light from the field of view and reflects projection light from the video display device in a direction of the operator. A solid-state light source device (421) that reflects and mixes light emitted from a plurality of light-emitting cells (40) and emits the light obtained by the mixing in a predetermined direction is used as a light source constituting the video display device.

A method for providing an interactive virtual communication environment within a vehicle uses real-time sensor data. The method acquires data from one or more vehicle sensors, which is then processed to derive occupant-specific data. Using this occupant data, the method configures a virtual environment that is displayed on the vehicle's display device. Within the virtual environment, an avatar representing the vehicle's occupant is generated based on the sensor data and associated occupant information. The avatar serves as an indicator of the occupant's presence and identity within the virtual environment, providing a more accurate and real-time indication of the occupant's availability for interaction, thereby reducing hardware complexity of the communication platform inside the vehicle.

A head-up display for projecting visual information onto a screen includes: a projector for generating the visual information; and a mirror for forwarding the generated visual information to the screen. The projector and/or the mirror are fixedly connected to a non-transparent panel so as to provide a fixed relative orientation between the projector and the mirror.

A display device includes: a stepping motor; a concave mirror that moves in accordance with the operation of the stepping motor, the concave mirror reflecting display light emitted from a display unit toward the windshield; a lever part that moves together with the concave mirror; a drive unit for driving the stepping motor by a microstep drive system; a control unit for controlling the movement of the concave mirror by controlling the drive unit; and a stopper unit provided within the range of movement of the lever part. The drive unit is configured to detect the counter-electromotive force generated by the stepping motor when the lever part comes into contact with the stopper unit. The control unit determines the reference position when the movement of the concave mirror is controlled in accordance with the counter-electromotive force detected by the drive unit.
