Abstract
A vehicle having a sensor and a head-up display is provided. The sensor can detect pedestrians at an intersection. The head-up display can depict an augmented reality indicator represented as the intersection and the pedestrians. The augmented reality indicator can be displayed directly in a driver's field of view centralized to provide a situational environment for the driver. The head-up display can show pedestrians outside the driver's field of view.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for displaying a situational environment of a vehicle at an intersection on a head-up display, the method comprising:
- upon approaching the intersection, identifying pedestrians at the intersection through at least one sensor;
- displaying an indicator representing the intersection on the head-up display;
- and
- overlaying at least one indicia of a pedestrian on the indicator.
(canceled)
A pedestrian intersection alert system comprising:
- a head-up display;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing program instructions that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
- identify pedestrians at an intersection;
- display an indicator represented as a bird's eye view of the intersection on the head-up display;
- and
- overlay at least one indicia of a pedestrian on the indicator displayed on the head-up display.
A vehicle comprising:
- a sensor detecting pedestrians at an intersection;
- and
- a head-up display depicting an augmented reality indicator for the intersection and overlaying at least one indicia of a pedestrian on the augmented reality indicator.
