Vehicle window adapted for augmented reality projection

A method of displaying a projected visible image on an interior surface of a vehicle window, said method comprising steps of:

• applying an optical laminate to a surface of a window, the optical laminate including a attenuating layer, a semi-reflective film comprised of a substrate coated with a reflective material, and a micro-lens array, the semi-reflective layer being disposed between the attenuating layer and the micro-lens array, and the attenuating layer being disposed between the surface of the window and the semi-reflective film, and the attenuation layer comprising one of a photochromic coating and an electrochromic coating;
• and
• projecting an image from an incoherent light projector onto the optical laminate applied to the window, the image being projected from an angle of incidence relative to the optical laminate thereby causing the optical laminate to reflect the image substantially along an angle of reflection relative to the optical laminate, the angle of reflection being towards a vehicle occupant.
