Vehicle image display
A heads up display system includes a computer that is programmed to receive data from one or more sources in a vehicle. The computer is further programmed to identify respective subsets of the data to be provided to respective ones of a plurality of display devices, and to provide the respective subsets of the data to the respective display devices.
1. A heads-up display system, comprising:
a plurality of display devices; and
a computer programmed to receive data from one or more sources in a vehicle, and to provide the data to each of the display devices;
wherein at least one of the display devices is arranged to provide a first display on a vehicle pillar and at least one of the display devices is arranged to provide a second display on one of a vehicle instrument panel, a vehicle exterior, and a vehicle windscreen, whereby at least two displays are provided.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein one of displays provides image data, and one of the displays provides data from a vehicle controller or vehicle sensor.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein one of the displays is provided exterior to a vehicle that includes a virtual image superimposed on an external environment of the vehicle.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first display includes a first subset of the data and the second display includes a second subset of the data, wherein the first subset of the data and the second subset of the data have no data in common.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein one of the displays includes data relating to a status of at least one vehicle component, and another of the displays includes navigation data.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the displays is mounted on a vehicle instrument panel.
7. A heads-up display system, comprising:
at least three display devices; and
a computer programmed to receive data from one or more sources in a vehicle, and to provide respective subsets of the data to each of the display devices;
wherein each of the display devices is arranged to provide a display at a respective location with respect to the vehicle, a first one of the locations being on a vehicle pillar, and a second one of the locations being on a component selected from the group consisting of a vehicle instrument panel, a vehicle exterior, and a vehicle windscreen.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein one of the displays is provided at a location exterior to a vehicle and includes a virtual image superimposed on an external environment of the vehicle.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the first display includes a first subset of the data and the second display includes a second subset of the data, wherein the first subset of the data and the second subset of the data have no data in common.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein one of the displays includes data relating to a status of at least one vehicle component, and another of the displays includes navigation data.
11. The system of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the displays is mounted on a vehicle instrument panel.
12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the displays are tiled to extend for substantially an entire width of a vehicle windscreen.
13. A computing device that includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the computing device is programmed to:
receive data from one or more sources in a vehicle;
identify respective subsets of the data to be provided to respective ones of a plurality of display devices; and
provide the respective subsets of the data to the respective display devices according to respective locations of displays provided by the respective display devices, a first one of the locations being on a vehicle pillar, and a second one of the locations being on a component selected from the group consisting of one of a vehicle instrument panel, a vehicle exterior, and a vehicle windscreen.
14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the device is installed in a vehicle.
15. The device of claim 13 , wherein the device is communicatively coupled to the display devices.
16. The device of claim 13 , wherein one of displays provides image data, and one of the displays provides data from a vehicle controller or vehicle sensor.
17. The device of claim 13 , wherein one of the displays is provided exterior to a vehicle that includes a virtual image superimposed on an environment of the vehicle.
18. The device of claim 13 , wherein the first display includes a first subset of the data and the second display includes a second subset of the data, wherein the first subset of the data and the second subset of the data have no data in common.
19. The device of claim 13 , wherein one of the displays includes data relating to a status of at least one vehicle component, and another of the displays includes navigation data.
20. The device of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the displays is mounted on a vehicle instrument panel.
