Estimating the term…
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle interface device configured to output a haptic signal to indicate a potential hazard. The apparatus includes at least one haptic generator configured to generate a haptic signal; and a processor for controlling the haptic generator. The processor is configured to determine an angular position of the identified object relative to the vehicle in dependence on object data relating to an identified object representing a potential hazard. A control signal is generated to cause the haptic generator to output a haptic signal for providing an indication of the determined relative position of the identified object. The control signal is modified to progressively change the generated haptic signal to represent changes in the relative angular position of the identified object. The present disclosure also relates to a vehicle incorporating a vehicle interface device.
A vehicle interface device for generating a haptic indication of a potential hazard, the vehicle interface device comprising:
