    摘要: Various implementations of an illumination system include a light guide, a housing having a ceiling and defining a window, and a base coupled to the housing. The light guide is supported between the base and the ceiling. At least one light source is disposed adjacent a first end of the light guide. The light guide transmits the light from the light source through at least a portion of the outer surface of the light guide and the window. One or more tabs extending from the base each define at least one opening, and the at least one opening defined by each tab is alignable with an opening in a spoke portion of a frame. The openings receive a fastener to couple the base to the spoke portion. The housing may be integrally formed with a trim cover coupled to the frame.

    摘要: A motor vehicle includes a central light control unit and a plurality of interior light modules, each of which includes a single light source or a plurality of light sources. The motor vehicle also includes a data bus via which the central light control unit and the interior light modules are coupled to one another. The central light control unit is configured to transmit control commands to the interior light modules in order to trigger motor vehicle interior lighting effects, wherein control information, which is included in the control commands and includes at least one color value and one brightness value for the interior light modules, is created based on runtime-variable input data. The runtime-variable input data is based on current ambient conditions of the motor vehicle and/or variable data sources of the motor vehicle.

    摘要: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a system is disclosed. The system may comprise a light assembly, an imager, and/or a controller. The light assembly may be configured to emit an array of illumination elements onto a scene. The imager may be configured to capture one or more images of the illumination elements projected onto the scene. The controller may be configured to selectively activate the light assembly between a first state and a second state. In the first and second sates, respectively, first and second groups of the illumination elements are selectively activated to emit first and second patterns of illumination elements.
