Abstract
A vehicle display assembly includes a three-dimensional (3D) display, and an actuator coupled to the 3D display. The actuator is configured to adjust an orientation of the 3D display relative to a vehicle occupant. The vehicle display assembly also includes a sensor assembly configured to monitor a position of a head of the vehicle occupant, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor assembly and to the actuator. The controller is configured to instruct the actuator to adjust the orientation of the 3D display based on the position of the head of the vehicle occupant.
Claims18
A vehicle display assembly, comprising:
- an autostereoscopic display;
- an actuator coupled to the autostereoscopic display, wherein the actuator is configured to adjust an orientation of the autostereoscopic display relative to a first vehicle occupant and a second vehicle occupant;
- a sensor assembly configured to monitor a first position of a first head of the first vehicle occupant, and a second position of a second head of the second vehicle occupant;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor assembly and to the actuator, wherein the controller is configured to instruct the actuator to adjust the orientation of the autostereoscopic display based selectively on the first position of the first head and the second position of the second head;
- wherein the sensor assembly is configured to monitor a first orientation of the first head and a second orientation of the second head, the controller is configured to instruct the actuator to direct the autostereoscopic display toward the first head while the first head is directed toward the autostereoscopic display and the second head is not directed toward the autostereoscopic display, the controller is configured to instruct the actuator to direct the autostereoscopic display toward the second head while the second head is directed toward the autostereoscopic display and the first head is not directed toward the autostereoscopic display, and the controller is configured to instruct the actuator to direct the autostereoscopic display toward the first head while the first and second heads are directed toward the autostereoscopic display based on a priority.

A vehicle display assembly, comprising:
- an autostereoscopic display;
- an actuator coupled to the autostereoscopic display, wherein the actuator is configured to rotate the autostereoscopic display about a horizontal axis and about a vertical axis relative to a first vehicle occupant and a second vehicle occupant;
- a sensor assembly configured to monitor a first position of a first head of the first vehicle occupant, and a second position of a second head of the second vehicle occupant;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor assembly and to the actuator, wherein the controller is configured to instruct the actuator to rotate the autostereoscopic display about the horizontal axis, about the vertical axis, or a combination thereof, based selectively on the first position of the first head and the second position of the second head;
- wherein the sensor assembly is configured to monitor a first orientation of the first head and a second orientation of the second head, the controller is configured to instruct the actuator to direct the autostereoscopic display toward the first head while the first head is directed toward the autostereoscopic display and the second head is not directed toward the autostereoscopic display, the controller is configured to instruct the actuator to direct the autostereoscopic display toward the second head while the second head is directed toward the autostereoscopic display and the first head is not directed toward the autostereoscopic display, and the controller is configured to instruct the actuator to direct the autostereoscopic display toward the first head while the first and second heads are directed toward the autostereoscopic display based on a priority.
