Augmented reality interfaces for speed regulation through optical illusions

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon for an unsafe speed intervention system, the program code being executed by a processor and comprising:

• program code to determine an initial speed of a vehicle is unsafe when a difference between the initial speed and a speed limit is greater than a predetermined amount;
• program code to compute a distance between successive transverse pattern pairs of an augmented reality transverse marking pattern based on the initial speed and a transition speed to the speed limit;
• program code to overlay a pattern on a windshield of the vehicle to project the augmented reality transverse marking pattern onto a road repeatedly moving toward the vehicle at a selected speed using the computed distance between successive transverse pattern pairs in response to determining the initial speed of the vehicle is unsafe;
• program code to monitor a current speed of the vehicle after overlaying the pattern on the windshield of the vehicle to project the augmented reality transverse marking patterns onto the road;
• and
• program code to adjust the selected speed and the computed distance of the augmented reality transverse marking patterns projected onto the road and repeatedly moving at an adjusted speed using the adjusted distance in response to the monitoring the current speed of the vehicle.

A system for an unsafe speed intervention, the system comprising:

• an unsafe speed detection module to determine an initial speed of a vehicle is unsafe when a difference between the initial speed and a speed limit is greater than a predetermined amount;
• an augmented reality (AR) pattern overlay module to compute a distance between successive transverse pattern pairs of an augmented reality transverse marking pattern based on the initial speed and a transition speed to the speed limit to overlay a pattern on a windshield of the vehicle to project the augmented reality transverse pattern onto a road repeatedly moving toward the vehicle at a selected speed using the computed distance between successive transverse pattern pairs in response to determining the initial speed of the vehicle is unsafe;
• a vehicle speed monitor module to monitor a current speed of the vehicle after overlaying the pattern on the windshield of the vehicle to project the augmented reality transverse marking patterns onto the road;
• and
• an AR pattern speed adjustment module to adjust and the computed distance of the augmented reality transverse marking patterns projected onto the road and repeatedly moving at an adjusted speed using the adjusted distance in response to the monitoring the current speed of the vehicle.
