3-DIMENSIONAL (3-D) NAVIGATION

摘要

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 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. Additionally, a target position for graphic elements can be adjusted. This enables the HUD component to project graphic elements as moving avatars. In other words, adjusting the focal plane distance and the target position enables graphic elements to be projected in three dimensions along an x, y, and z axis. Further, a moving avatar can be ‘animated’ by sequentially projecting the avatar on different focal planes, thereby providing an occupant with the perception that the avatar is moving towards or away from the vehicle.

主权项

1. A system for 3-dimensional (3-D) navigation, comprising:
a navigation component configured to:
receive an origin location and a destination location, the navigation component associated with a vehicle; andgenerate a route from the origin location to the destination location, wherein one or more portions of the route comprise one or more navigation instructions associated with one or more road segments or one or more intersections of the road segments; a heads-up display (HUD) component projecting one or more graphic elements on one or more focal planes around an environment surrounding the vehicle, wherein one or more of the graphic elements are projected in view of an occupant of the vehicle based on the route; and a controller component adjusting a distance between one or more of the focal planes of one or more of the graphic elements and the vehicle based on one or more road conditions associated with one or more portions of the route and a current position of the vehicle.
