Abstract
Various embodiments include a computer-implemented method comprising determining a height of an eye associated with a user, determining, based on the height of the eye, a target mirror position for a movable mirror to reflect an image on to a reflective surface, wherein the image reflects off of the reflective surface and towards the user at an angle of inclination to reach the user at the height of the eye, the angle of inclination being constant for different heights of the eye, and causing the movable mirror to move to the target mirror position.
Claims16
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining a height of an eye associated with a user;
- determining, based on the height of the eye, a target mirror position for a movable flat reflective mirror to reflect an image onto a reflective surface, wherein the image reflects off of the reflective surface and towards the user at an angle of inclination to reach the user at the height of the eye, the angle of inclination being constant for different heights of the eye;
- and
- causing the movable flat reflective mirror to move linearly relative to a stationary concave mirror and a picture generation unit to the target mirror position, wherein the movable flat reflective mirror maintains a constant angle relative to the stationary concave mirror;
- and
- generating, by the picture generation unit based on information associated with the image, a light pattern of the image, wherein the movable flat reflective mirror reflects the image from the stationary concave mirror onto the reflective surface.
A system comprising:
- a movable flat reflective mirror configured to reflect an image onto a reflective surface;
- a picture generation unit that receives information associated with the image and generates a light pattern of the image;
- a memory storing an image height control application;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory that executes the image height control application to perform steps comprising:
- determining a height of an eye associated with a user;
- determining, based on the height of the eye, a target mirror position for the movable flat reflective mirror to reflect the image, wherein the image reflects off of the reflective surface and towards the user at an angle of inclination to reach the user at the height of the eye, the angle of inclination being constant for different heights of the eye;
- and
- causing the movable flat reflective mirror to move linearly relative to a stationary concave mirror and the picture generation unit to the target mirror position, wherein:
- the movable flat reflective mirror maintains a constant angle relative to the stationary concave mirror, and
- the movable flat reflective mirror reflects the image from the stationary concave mirror onto the reflective surface.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
- determining a height of an eye associated with a user;
- determining, based on the height of the eye, a target mirror position for a movable flat reflective mirror to reflect an image onto a reflective surface, wherein the image reflects off of the reflective surface and towards the user at an angle of inclination to reach the user at the height of the eye, the angle of inclination being constant for different heights of the eye;
- and
- causing the movable flat reflective mirror to move linearly relative to a stationary concave mirror and a picture generation unit to the target mirror position, wherein the movable flat reflective mirror maintains a constant angle relative to the stationary concave mirror;
- and
- generating, by a picture generation unit based on information associated with the image, a light pattern of the image, wherein the movable flat reflective mirror reflects the image from the stationary concave mirror onto the reflective surface.
