Abstract
At least one embodiment disclosed herein includes generating a three-dimensional graphical output that includes a three-dimensional representation of a video of an area external to a vehicle, and displaying the three-dimensional graphical output on a three-dimensional display disposed within a vehicle.
Claims22
A method for displaying live video in a vehicle, comprising:
- capturing a video of an area external to the vehicle;
- generating, via a stereoscopic display surface disposed within the vehicle, a plurality of display layers, wherein each display layer has a different perceived depth relative to a driver of the vehicle and the stereoscopic display surface;
- causing one or more display elements to be displayed in a first stereoscopic image within a first display layer included in the plurality of display layers that has a first perceived depth relative to the driver of the vehicle and the stereoscopic display surface;
- and
- causing a representation of the video to be displayed in a second stereoscopic image within a second display layer included in the plurality of display layers that has a second perceived depth relative to the driver of the vehicle and the stereoscopic display surface,
- wherein the first perceived depth is different from the second perceived depth such that one display layer of the first display layer and the second display layer is disposed in front relative to the driver of the vehicle and is transparent to allow the driver of the vehicle to see through the one display layer.
3 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to display live video in a vehicle, by performing the steps of:
- capturing a video of an area external to the vehicle;
- generating, via a stereoscopic display surface disposed within the vehicle, a plurality of display layers, wherein each display layer has a different perceived depth relative to a driver of the vehicle and the stereoscopic display surface;
- causing one or more display elements to be displayed in a first stereoscopic image within a first display layer included in the plurality of display layers that has a first perceived depth relative to the driver of the vehicle and the stereoscopic display surface;
- and
- causing a representation of the video to be displayed in a second stereoscopic image within a second display layer included in the plurality of display layers that has a second perceived depth relative to the driver of the vehicle and the stereoscopic display surface,
- wherein the first perceived depth is different from the second perceived depth such that one display layer of the first display layer and the second display layer is disposed in front relative to the driver of the vehicle and is transparent to allow the driver of the vehicle to see through the one display layer.
3 more elements
A system to display live video in a vehicle, comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- at least one camera configured to capture a video of an area external to the vehicle;
- and
- a stereoscopic display surface disposed within the vehicle,
- wherein the one or more computer processors execute instructions and perform the steps of:
- generating, via the stereoscopic display surface disposed within the vehicle, a plurality of display layers, wherein each display layer has a different perceived depth relative to a driver of the vehicle and the stereoscopic display surface;
- causing one or more display elements to be displayed in a first stereoscopic image within a first display layer included in the plurality of display layers that has a first perceived depth relative to the driver of the vehicle and the stereoscopic display surface;
- and
- causing a representation of the video to be displayed in a second stereoscopic image within a second display layer included in the plurality of display layers that has a second perceived depth relative to the driver of the vehicle and the stereoscopic display surface,
- wherein the first perceived depth is different from the second perceived depth such that one display layer of the first display layer and the second display layer is disposed in front relative to the driver of the vehicle and is transparent to allow the driver of the vehicle to see through the one display layer.
