    摘要: A design screen and at least one detection device with an image capturing device and a carrier medium are provided in an external lighting device for a motor vehicle. The carrier medium is a flat waveguide on which a coupling region and a decoupling region are provided. The carrier medium is adapted to the surface shape of the design screen. The coupling region and the decoupling region are each a holographic element. Light incident on the external lighting device from the surroundings is coupled into the carrier medium via the coupling region, is transported to the decoupling region by internal reflection in the waveguide, and is decoupled at the decoupling region. The image capturing device detects the decoupled light and provides image data which correlates to the detected light.

    摘要: A 3D printing apparatus includes a synthetic resin bath for a photosensitive synthetic resin and a lifting apparatus. The photosensitive synthetic resin at the lifting apparatus is polymerizable by light of a specified wavelength. The 3D printing apparatus further includes a carrier medium having a coupling-in region and a coupling-out region, and an illumination apparatus to emit light onto the coupling-in region. The coupling-in region includes a coupling-in deflection structure to couple light of the specified wavelength incident on the coupling-in deflection structure from the illumination apparatus, into the carrier medium in a direction of the coupling-out region, and the coupling-out region is disposed below the synthetic resin bath and includes a coupling-out deflection structure configured to couple the light of the specified wavelength that is incident on the coupling-out deflection structure, as an exposure pattern, out of the carrier medium onto the photosensitive synthetic resin.

    摘要: A method of operating virtual reality glasses in a vehicle, in which a risk of motion sickness for a wearer of the virtual reality glasses is reduced with the aid of the method. A virtual reality system (IO) includes the virtual reality glasses and the vehicle. According to the method, a vehicle movement of the vehicle is evaluated in such a way that ultimately, after the image data describing the virtual surroundings have been split into a background image dataset and a foreground image dataset, a lateral offset for a position of an object in the foreground in comparison with the background is determined, so that virtual surroundings which are processed in this way can be determined and displayed. Alternatively, the virtual surroundings can be enlarged in accordance with the vehicle movement, and processed virtual surroundings can be determined by a movement of the enlarged virtual surroundings along a movement trajectory, and displayed.

    摘要: A carrier medium is designed as a waveguide on which a coupling region and a decoupling region are provided. The coupling region is designed to couple light, which has been emitted from a light source and reflected on an object in the surroundings, into the carrier medium. The coupled reflected light is then transmitted to the decoupling region by internal reflection, and the reflected light is decoupled again at the decoupling region and is transmitted to the at least one sensor device, which is designed as a time-of-flight camera device. The sensor device provides the detected light in the form of sensor data, describing the propagation time of the light reflected on the object, to an analysis device that obtains object data, which describes the position of the object.

    摘要: A system for imaging a scene includes a capturing unit to capture two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional information of the scene, the information including light waves from the scene; a first diffractive optical element to receive the light waves from the capturing unit; a waveguide to forward the light waves received by the first diffractive optical element , the first diffractive optical element additionally to couple the light waves into the optical waveguide; and a second diffractive optical element to couple the light waves forwarded by the optical waveguide out of the optical waveguide. The system additionally includes a first image sensor and at least one second image sensor to capture the light waves coupled out of the optical waveguide and to generate first image data and second image data therefrom. The first image sensor and the second image sensor are in a region paired with the second diffractive optical element.
