A method for controlling a display system of a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- generating an image on a surface of the motor vehicle via a controller;
- detecting, via the controller, an object placed on the surface;
- and
- adjusting the image, via the controller, such that a portion of the image is moved from a first area of the surface in which the object has been detected to a second area of the surface.
A display system for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a display device to display an image on a surface of the motor vehicle;
- an object detector to detect objects placed on the surface;
- and
- a controller to control the display device to generate the image on the surface, receive a signal from the object detector indicative of an object placed on the surface, and control the display device to adjust the image such that a portion of the image is moved from a first area of the surface in which the object has been detected to a second area of the surface.
