  • Patent number: 11222476
    Abstract: A head up display arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a source of a first video signal. A driver monitor system detects a location of at least a portion of a human driver of the motor vehicle. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the first video signal source and to the driver monitor system. The electronic processor produces a second video signal that is dependent upon the first video signal and that includes parallax information. The parallax information is based on the detected location of the portion of the driver. A head up display projection device produces a virtual image that is visible to the driver and that is based upon the second video signal.

  • Publication number: 20210193086
    Abstract: A head up display arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a picture generation unit emitting a light field including an image. A mirror is positioned to reflect the light field after the light field has been emitted by the picture generation unit. A windshield is positioned to reflect the light field after the light field has been reflected by the mirror such that a human driver sees the image in the light field after the light field has been reflected by the windshield, and such that the driver sees the image as a virtual image that appears to be outside of the windshield when eyes of the driver are in an imaginary eyebox. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the picture generation unit and translates the image on the picture generation unit display to thereby change a vertical level of the eyebox.
