VOLUMETRIC HEADS-UP DISPLAY WITH DYNAMIC FOCAL PLANE

摘要

A heads-up display device for displaying graphic elements in view of a user while the user views an environment through a display screen. The heads-up display device includes at least one projector that projects a graphic element on a dynamic, frontal focal plane in view of the user while the user views the environment through the display screen, and at least one projector that projects a graphic element on a static, ground-parallel focal plane in view of the user while the user views the environment through the display screen. A controller determines a target graphic element position and a graphic element size based on the target graphic element position for the graphic element projected on the frontal focal plane, so as to provide the user with an immersive three-dimensional heads-up display.
