System and method for dynamic in-vehicle virtual reality

A computing system for rendering views to an output device, comprising:

• a processor operatively connected for computer communication to one or more vehicle systems of a vehicle and the output device, the processor including:
• a virtual reality data module receives vehicle data from the one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle data includes a velocity, an orientation, and a location of the vehicle within a first frame of reference, and wherein the virtual reality data module receives predictive vehicle data including a velocity, an orientation, and a location of the vehicle within the first frame of reference at a future point in time, and the virtual reality data module receives user data the from the output device, the user data including a velocity, an orientation and a location of a user within a second frame of reference, and the user is in possession of the output device;
• a dynamic virtual reality module generates a view based on the vehicle data, the predictive vehicle data, the user data, and a model, the model including one or more components that define the view;
• and
• a rendering module determines a difference between the user data from the second frame of reference and the vehicle data from the first frame of reference, and the rendering module renders the view to the output device by controlling the output device to update display of the view according to the determined difference relative to the second frame of reference and the predictive vehicle data relative to the first frame of reference.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method for rendering views to an output device, comprising:

• receiving vehicle data, the vehicle data including a velocity, an orientation, and a location of a vehicle;
• receiving user data, the user data including a velocity, an orientation and a location of a user;
• generating a view based on the vehicle data, the user data, and a model, the model including one or more components that define the view;
• determining a difference between the user data and the vehicle data;
• and
• rendering the view to the output device by controlling the output device to update display of the view according to the determined difference.
