  • Optical alignment method and system for transparent displays to overcome parallax
    Patent number: 12670679
    Abstract: A method is performed using a transparent display alignment system in a vehicle. The transparent display alignment system includes a transparent display through which a user's eyes behind the transparent display view an external scene in front of the transparent display. The method comprises: receiving an eye position of the eyes, a vehicle position for the vehicle, and an external object position of an external object in the external scene; computing a parallax-free position on the transparent display that intersects with a line-of-sight from the eye position to the external object position through the transparent display, at least based on the eye position, the vehicle position, and the external object position; and positioning a graphic object on the transparent display at the parallax-free position to align the eye position, the graphic object, and the external object to avoid parallax when the eyes view the external object through the transparent display.
