Information display device for vehicle

In a ground vehicle having movement controlled by a vehicle operator, the improvement comprising:

• an information display device for use with the ground vehicle, comprising:
• means for generating a left-viewpoint image and a right-viewpoint image of information for the ground vehicle, the information including an image generated by computer graphics on the basis of navigation information, for guiding movement of the ground vehicle;
• means for synthesizing an image from left- and right-viewpoint images by alternately arranging their elements;
• a stereoscopic display for separately displaying the left-viewpoint image and the right-viewpoint image of the synthesized image to produce a stereoscopic image of the information for the ground vehicle;
• blanking means for clearing off each of the left-viewpoint and right-viewpoint images for the driver's seat;
• and
• a vehicle movement detector for detecting whether the vehicle is moving, the detector linked to the blanking means and actuating the blanking means when the vehicle is moving.

In a ground vehicle controlled by a vehicle operator, the improvement comprising:

• means for generating a left-viewpoint image and a right-viewpoint image of information for the vehicle, the information including an image generated by computer graphics of a prospective vehicle travelling state on the ground that is estimated at least in part on the basis of a detected position, velocity, or acceleration of the ground vehicle;
• means for synthesizing an image form left- and right-viewpoint images by alternately arranging their elements by pixel;
• a stereoscopic display for separately displaying the left-viewpoint image and the right-viewpoint image of the synthesized image for producing a stereoscopic image of the information for the vehicle;
• blanking means for clearing off each of the left-viewpoint and right-viewpoint images for the driver's seat;
• and
• a vehicle movement detector for detecting whether the vehicle is moving, the detector linked to the blanking means and actuating the blanking means when the vehicle is moving.
