    摘要: There is provided a head-up display for a vehicle having a window. The head-up display comprises a picture generating unit (410) and an optical system (420). The picture generating unit is arranged to output pictures. The optical system is arranged to receive the pictures output by the picture generating unit and project the pictures onto the window (430) of the vehicle to form a virtual image (450, 707) of each picture within a virtual image area (605). The picture generating unit is arranged to output pictures within a cropped picture area such that the virtual image area (605) has a corresponding cropped shape. FIG. 7 illustrates a perspective view of a three lanes road (501,502,503) onto which a virtual image (707) within a cropped virtual image area (605) is overlaid.

    摘要: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for adjusting depth of AR content on HUD. A viewing device identifies, based on sensor data, a physical object visible through a transparent display of the vehicle. The sensor data indicates an initial distance of the physical object from the vehicle. The viewing device gathers virtual content corresponding to the physical object and generates an initial presentation of the virtual content based on the initial distance. The viewing device presents the initial presentation of the virtual content on the transparent display at a position on the transparent display corresponding to the physical object. The viewing device determines, based on updated sensor data, an updated distance of the physical object and generates an updated presentation of the virtual content based on the updated distance. The viewing device presents the updated presentation of the virtual content on the transparent display of the vehicle.

    摘要: There is provided a method of projection using an optical element (502,602) having spatially variant optical power. The method comprises combining Fourier domain data representative of a 2D image with Fourier domain data having a first lensing effect (604a) to produce first holographic data. Light is spatially modulated (504,603a) with the first holographic data to form a first spatially modulated light beam. The first spatially modulated light beam is redirected using the optical element (502,602) by illuminating a first region (607) of the optical element (602) with the first spatially modulated beam. The first lensing effect (604a) compensates for the optical power of the optical element in the first region (607). Advantageous embodiments relate to a head-up display for a vehicle using the vehicle windscreen (502,602) as an optical element to redirect light to the viewer (505,609).

    摘要: A head-up display for a vehicle having a window. The head-up display comprises a picture generating unit and a projection engine. The picture generating unit is arranged to output pictures. Each picture comprises a first picture component and a second picture component. The projection engine is arranged to receive the pictures output by the picture generating unit and project the pictures onto the window of the vehicle in order to form a first virtual image of the first picture component at a first virtual image distance and a second virtual image of the second picture component at a second virtual image distance. Light of the first picture component is polarised in a first polarisation direction and light of the second picture component is polarised in a second polarisation direction perpendicular to the first polarisation direction. The projection engine comprises an optical element having first optical power in the first polarisation direction and second optical power in the second polarisation direction such that the first virtual image distance is not equal to the second virtual image distance. The projection engine is further arranged such that the first virtual image and second virtual image at least partially overlap.

    摘要: An illumination system is arranged to output a light beam for illuminating a scene. The system comprises a spatial light modulator arranged to receive incident light, and to output light comprising a first component and a second component. The first component comprises incident light that is output without modulation by the spatial light modulator. The second component comprises incident light that is spatially-modulated according to a hologram and output by the spatial light modulator. A control device is operable to control the proportion of light output by the spatial light modulator that corresponds to the second component.

The driver monitoring system is arranged to illuminate and monitor a driver. The driver monitoring system comprises a first display channel. The picture generating unit is arranged to display a picture on a replay plane. The picture generating unit comprises a second display channel. Each display channel comprises a light source, spatial light modulator and controller. Each light source is arranged to emit light. Each spatial light modulator is arranged to receive light from the respective light source and output spatially-modulated light in accordance with a computer-generated hologram displayed on the spatial light modulator to form a respective light pattern on the replay plane. Each controller is arranged to output the computer-generated hologram to the spatial light modulator. The optical system is arranged to relay each light pattern from the replay plane. The optical system comprises an input, output and at least one mirror. The input is arranged to receive light of each light pattern. The output is arranged to output light of each light pattern.
