Abstract
The disclosure provides for a display system for a vehicle comprising at least one image sensor, an image processor, and a display. The image processor is in communication with the image sensor and configured to generate autostereoscopic image data. The display is in communication with the image processor and configured to display the autostereoscopic image data. The autostereoscopic image data is configured to provide a depth perception to assist in determining a proximity of an object in the image data.
Claims20
A vehicle display device:
- a plurality of image sensors configured to capture image data;
- a tracking sensor configured to identify a position of an occupant;
- an image processor in communication with the image sensors and the tracking sensor, the image processor configured to generate stereoscopic image data from the image data, wherein the stereoscopic image data comprises right image data and left image data;
- and
- a display apparatus in communication with the image processor, the display apparatus comprising an optical array configured to communicate the stereoscopic image data independently to each of a right eye and a left eye of the occupant based on the position of the occupant.
