Abstract

A display arrangement for a vehicle is provided. The arrangement may include a display for displaying information to a vehicle operator, and a sensor for monitoring a head position of a vehicle operator and generating input signals indicative of the vehicle operator head position. The arrangement may also include a control unit arranged to automatically initiate, based on an interpretation of the input signals, at least one of a dimension change of graphical display objects or a change of the relation between the graphical display objects following a monitored predefined change of the vehicle operator head position in a first direction, such that graphical display objects previously displayed as partly hidden are arranged to be displayed as visible.

Dependent claims

A vehicle display arrangement comprising:

a display for displaying information to a vehicle operator;
one or more sensors for monitoring a vehicle operator head position;
a processing unit;
a control unit;
and
communication means arranged to communicate input signals indicative of the vehicle operator head position to the processing unit, and to communicate output signals from the processing unit to the control unit;
wherein the processing unit is arranged to interpret the input signals and, based on the interpretation of the input signals, communicate the output signals to the control unit, the control unit being arranged to automatically initiate at least one of a dimension change of graphical display objects or a change of the relation between the graphical display objects following a monitored predefined change of the vehicle operator head position in a first direction, such that previously displayed as partly hidden graphical display objects are arranged to be displayed as visible in a first predefined manner.
