Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling a head-up display (HUD) considering an eye tracking status are provided. The method includes identifying an eye tracking status based on a result of an eye tracking, and identifying a rendering mode for an HUD image to be one of a two-dimensional (2D) rendering mode and a three-dimensional (3D) rendering mode based on the eye tracking status.
Claims22
A method of controlling a head-up display (HUD), the method comprising:
- performing eye tracking of an eye of a user in a captured image;
- identifying an eye tracking status based on a result of the eye tracking;
- identifying a rendering mode for an HUD image to be one of a two-dimensional (2D) rendering mode and a three-dimensional (3D) rendering mode based on the eye tracking status;
- and
- rendering the HUD image in the identified rendering mode.
An apparatus for controlling a head-up display (HUD), the apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store one or more instructions;
- and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to:
- perform eye tracking of an eye of a user in a captured image,
- identify an eye tracking status based on a result of the eye tracking,
- identify a rendering mode for an HUD image to be one of a two-dimensional (2D) rendering mode and a three-dimensional (3D) rendering mode based on the eye tracking status, and
- render the HUD image in the identified rendering mode.
A head-up display (HUD) device comprising:
- an eye tracking camera configured to capture an image including a user;
- a processor configured to perform eye tracking on the captured image, identify an eye tracking status based on a result of the eye tracking, identify a rendering mode for an HUD image to be one of a two-dimensional (2D) rendering mode and a three-dimensional (3D) rendering mode based on the eye tracking status, and render the HUD image in the identified rendering mode;
- and
- a display device configured to provide the HUD image to the user using augmented reality (AR).
A display apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store one or more instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to:
- receive eye tracking information on an eye of a user in a captured image;
- identify whether the eye tracking is stable or unstable based on the eye tracking information;
- output a virtual object in a two-dimensional (2D) image based on the eye tracking being unstable;
- and
- output the virtual object in a three-dimensional (3D) image based on the eye tracking being stable.
A display method comprising:
- receiving eye tracking information on an eye of a user in an image;
- identifying whether the eye tracking is stable or unstable based on the eye tracking information;
- outputting a virtual object in a two-dimensional (2D) image based on the eye tracking being unstable;
- and
- outputting the virtual object in a three-dimensional (3D) image based on the eye tracking being stable.
