Abstract: One or more embodiments of techniques or systems for 3-dimensional (3-D) navigation are provided herein. A heads-up display (HUD) component can project, render, display, or present graphic elements on focal planes around an environment surrounding a vehicle. The HUD component can cause these graphic elements to appear volumetric or 3-D by moving or adjusting a distance between a focal plane and the vehicle. Objects within the environment may be tracked, identified, and corresponding graphic elements may be projected on, near, or around respective objects. For example, the HUD component may project graphic elements or pointers on pedestrians such that it may alert the driver or operator of the vehicle of their presence. These pointers may stay ‘stuck’ on the pedestrian as he or she is walking within the environment. Metadata associated with objects may be presented, such as address information, ratings, telephone numbers, logos, etc.

Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments relate to a command interpreter for use in a vehicle control system in a vehicle for interpreting user commands, a vehicle interaction system including such a command interpreter, a vehicle including such a vehicle interaction system, and related method and non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, including: a memory and a processor, the processor being configured to: receive, from at least one human via a first input device, a first input having a first type; receive a second input having a second type via a second input device, wherein the second type comprises at least one of sensed information describing a surrounding environment of the vehicle and input received from at least one human; interpret both the first input and the second input to generate a system instruction; and transmit the system instruction to a different system of the vehicle.

Abstract: The tactile feedback device of the preferred embodiments includes at least one skin contact pad; at least one actuator designed to move the at least one skin contact pad and attached to the at least one skin contact pad in a manner suitable to allow the actuator to move the at least one skin contact pad; a processor coupled to the actuator that executes a control logic and functions to control the movements of the at least one actuator; the control logic functions to determine the motions of the at least one actuator and is designed to move the at least one actuator in a manner that stretches the skin of the user. The tactile feedback device of the preferred embodiments has been designed to provide feedback to a user in a way that provides the user with information regarding a task that they are performing. The tactile feedback device of the preferred embodiments, however, may be used for any suitable purpose.
