An on-board head-up display device includes: a navigation module, an eye position detecting module, an image processing module and an image display module; the navigation module is configured to input navigation data and a spatial position coordinate of a car with respect to a position where navigation data is to be executed, to the image processing module; the eye position detecting module is configured to detect a spatial position coordinate of the left and right eyes of the driver with respect to the car; the image processing module is configured to form display information; and the image displaying module, configured to display the display information in image in front of the eyes of the driver, and the image is on a line between the eyes of the driver and the position where the navigation information to be executed.

Equipped with are a presenting unit which presents visible information at such a position that a driver can recognize it visually, an object detection unit which detects an object approaching a self vehicle; and a control unit which controls the presenting unit so that it presents the visible information with a movement of the visible information in a same direction as a left-right component of a direction in which the object is approaching the self vehicle while moving the visible information if the object detection unit detects the object. The control unit controls the presenting unit so that a movement range of the visible information is located on only the left side or the right side, being the same side of the self vehicle as the object is located, of a boundary that defines the left side and the right side for the driver.

A driver assistance apparatus can include a display unit, a camera configured to capture an image of an interior of a vehicle, and a processor configured to sense a direction of at least one of a gaze and a gesture of a driver based on images provided from the camera, detect a region corresponding to the direction among a plurality of predetermined regions of the vehicle, and control the display unit to output information related to the detected region in response to an occurrence of an event related to the detected region among a plurality of predetermined events.

The invention relates to a method for capturing fixations and viewing movements of the driver of a vehicle with a head-up display by way of observation using a camera (6) that receives an image of the head (2) of the driver which is reflected by a combiner (3) of the head-up display. According to the invention, at least some of the information displayed to the driver using the head-up display is selected depending on the fixations and viewing movements of the driver.

A vehicle input device comprises an operation detection section configured to detect input to an onboard unit allocated to one operation section of plural of operation sections provided in a vicinity of a driving seat due to the one operation section being operated, a preliminary action detection section configured to detect a preliminary action directly prior to the one operation section being operated, and a notification section configured to notify an occupant of information relating to the onboard unit allocated to the one operation section in a case in which the preliminary action has been detected by the preliminary action detection section.

The disclosure relates to a vehicle window, a display system, a method for controlling and manufacturing the vehicle window and an automotive vehicle. The vehicle window comprises a first transparent layer and at least a second transparent layer, wherein at least a first synthetical layer is arranged between the first transparent layer and the second transparent layer. Furthermore, at least one LED array is arranged between the first synthetical layer and the first transparent layer and covers at least a first area of the vehicle window. The LED array is configured to not emit light in a first operation mode and wherein the LED array is configured to at least partially emit light in at least a second operation mode.

A computer performs processing including: generating an image to be presented to a driver in a preset coordinate system; identifying a display position at which the generated image is displayed in a field of vision of a driver, based on a viewpoint position of the driver; generating a driver viewpoint image obtained by converting the generated image to an image represented in a coordinate system defined with the viewpoint position as a reference; causing the driver viewpoint image to be displayed in such a manner that the driver viewpoint image overlaps a field of vision of the driver; detecting a line of sight of the driver; and when determining that a change amount of the detected line of sight exceeds a threshold value, suppressing change in a position at which the driver viewpoint image is displayed occurring in association with change in the viewpoint position.

There is provided a display system. The display system comprises a head-up display unit arranged in cooperation with the optical combiner to define: a first optical path between the head-up display unit to a first viewing region of the display system; and a second optical path between the head-up display to a second viewing region of the display system. The display system further comprises an optical combiner arranged to direct first light on the first optical path and direct second light on the second optical path. The first optical path intersects a first portion of the optical combiner. The second optical path intersects a second portion of the optical combiner. An infra-red reflectivity of the second portion is greater than that of the first portion.

Systems and methods for enhanced emergency vehicle warnings via Augmented Reality (AR) are provided. An example system may obtain a wireless communication signal indicating a position of an emergency vehicle, determine a field of view of an occupant of the vehicle associated with an AR viewer, and based upon a comparison of the position of the emergency vehicle and the field of view, present an alert via the AR viewer.
