  • Patent number: 12017534
    Abstract: At least one electronic display has first and second mirrors separated by a distance. The two mirrors are arranged such that they at least partially overlap in a projection view of both mirrors. An intermediate space is formed in the overlap region between the mirrors. The at least one electronic display is part of a display apparatus having at least one light source emitting light into the intermediate space that is reflectable multiple times by the mirrors to generate an infinity mirror effect, resulting in the generation of an image having a light pattern that appears with an optical depth effect in an image plane of the display apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20220073089
    Abstract: An operating system for a motor vehicle includes an interface having an operating surface and a projector configured to project display content onto the operating surface of the interface. The interface is a portable item freely movable in the motor vehicle. The operating system further includes a capturing device configured to determine an inclination vector of a relative inclination of the operating surface with respect to the projector, and an image processing device configured to generate the display content by graphically distorting an original display content by use of a predetermined pre-distortion function based on the determined inclination vector. The pre-distortion function is set inversely to an optical distortion that occurs due to the relative inclination of the operating surface during the projection of the display content onto the operating surface.
