INTEGRATED VEHICLE DYNAMICS IN CAMPFIRE DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240242644 titled 'INTEGRATED VEHICLE DYNAMICS IN CAMPFIRE DISPLAY

The patent application describes a method for generating a centrally located floating image display system.

Display a first image with a first display
Receive and reflect the first image with a first reflector
Display a second image with a second display
Receive and reflect the second image with a second reflector
Display first private information to the first passenger and second private information to the second passenger with a transparent display positioned between them and the reflectors
Receive input from the passengers with the system controller
Collect images with an external scene camera
Collect data related to the driving environment of the vehicle
Incorporate the data within the displayed images and private information

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for in-vehicle entertainment and information display - Public transportation for personalized passenger information - Retail for interactive advertising displays

Problems Solved: - Providing personalized information to passengers in a shared space - Enhancing the passenger experience with interactive displays

Benefits: - Improved passenger engagement and satisfaction - Enhanced safety by providing relevant driving environment data - Customizable and versatile display system for various industries

Commercial Applications: "Centrally Located Floating Image Display System for Enhanced Passenger Experience and Safety"

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system ensure privacy when displaying private information to multiple passengers? 2. What are the potential challenges in integrating driving environment data into the displayed images and information?

Original Abstract Submitted

a method of using a system for generating a centrally located floating image display includes displaying a first image with a first display, receiving and reflecting the first image with a first reflector, displaying, a second image with a second display, receiving and reflecting the second image with a second reflector, displaying first private information to the first passenger and second private information to the second passenger with a transparent display positioned between the first passenger and the first reflector and between the second passenger and the second reflector, receiving input from the first and second passengers with the system controller, collecting images with an external scene camera, collecting data related to a driving environment of the vehicle, and incorporating the data within at least one of the first image, the second image, and first and second private information displayed on the transparent display.
