Abstract
A vehicle includes a transparent display having a variable transmittance disposed between a rear seat and a front seat. The transparent display plays predetermined video content. The predetermined video content has at least a first phase, a second phase that follows the first phase, a third phase that follows the second phase, and a fourth phase that follows the third phase. At a beginning of the first phase, the variable transmittance of the transparent display is a first transmittance, and at an end of the first phase, the variable transmittance of the transparent display is a second transmittance that is smaller than the first transmittance.
Claims9
A vehicle comprising:
- at least
- a vehicle body;
- a first wheel coupled to the vehicle body;
- a second wheel coupled to the vehicle body;
- a third wheel coupled to the vehicle body;
- and
- a fourth wheel coupled to the vehicle body;
- and
- the vehicle is capable of traveling in a predetermined direction using the first wheel, the second wheel, the third wheel, and the fourth wheel, wherein
- the vehicle body includes
- a floor surface portion and a ceiling surface portion disposed along the predetermined direction,
- a left side surface portion that connects the floor surface portion and the ceiling surface portion and is disposed on a left side surface along the predetermined direction,
- a right side surface portion that connects the floor surface portion and the ceiling surface portion and is disposed on a right side surface along the predetermined direction,
- a front surface portion that connects the floor surface portion and the ceiling surface portion and is disposed on a front portion with respect to the predetermined direction,
- a rear surface portion that connects the floor surface portion and the ceiling surface portion and is disposed on a rear portion with respect to the predetermined direction,
- at least one front seat disposed on the floor surface portion, closer to the front surface portion than the rear surface portion, and
- at least one rear seat disposed on the floor surface portion, closer to the rear surface portion than the front surface portion,
- the front surface portion includes a glass that allows an outside of the vehicle to be viewed in the predetermined direction from the front seat,
- the vehicle body further includes a transparent display having a variable transmittance between the rear seat and the front seat,
- the outside of the vehicle is visible from the rear seat through the transparent display and the glass,
- the transparent display is set to play predetermined video content,
- the predetermined video content has at least a first phase, a second phase that follows the first phase, a third phase that follows the second phase, and a fourth phase that follows the third phase,
- the variable transmittance of the transparent display at a beginning of the first phase is a first transmittance, and
- the variable transmittance of the transparent display at an end of the first phase is a second transmittance that is smaller than the first transmittance.
