Automated adjustment of head up display image in a vehicle

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• generating, by a device operatively coupled to a processor, an image visible to a driver of a vehicle within a head up display having a defined display area with a defined position with respect to the vehicle;
• determining, by the device, a position of an eye or a head of the driver relative to the defined position of the defined display area;
• determining, by the device, a first portion of the defined display area that is not visible to the driver based on the position of the eye or the head of the driver relative to the defined position of the defined display area;
• and
• adjusting, by the device, at least one of a size of the image or a configuration of content components in the image to be within a second portion of the defined display area that is outside of the first portion.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions are executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• generate an image visible to a driver of a vehicle within a head up display having a defined display area with a defined position with respect to the vehicle;
• determine a position of an eye or a head of the driver relative to the defined position of the defined display area;
• determine a first portion of the defined display area that is not visible to the driver based on the position of the eye or the head of the driver relative to the defined position of the defined display area;
• and
• adjust at least one of a size of the image or a configuration of content components in the image to be within a second portion of the defined display area that is outside of the first portion.
