  • Patent number: 10917585
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating transportation of an observer in a vehicle include providing video images of an environment of the vehicle from a plurality of cameras having partly overlapping field of views, detecting an orientation of the observer's head, combining the video images to provide a first video image of a first section of the environment of the vehicle, and presenting a second video image of a second section of the environment of the vehicle. The second section is a subset of the first section and corresponds to the detected orientation of the observer's head. The first section is a proper subset of the environment seen by the plurality of cameras. The detecting and presenting are repeated after a predetermined time-period that is short enough not to cause nausea for the observer.
