Contact-Analog Information Representation In An Automotive Head-Up Display

This contribution presents an approach for representing contact-analog information in an automotive Head-Up Display (HUD). Therefore, we will firstly introduce our approach for the calibration of the optical system consisting of the virtual image plane of the HUD and the drivers eyes. Afterward, we will present the used eyetracking system for adaptation of the HUD content at the current viewpoint/position of the driver. We will also present first prototypical concepts for the visulization of contact-analog HUD content and inital test results from a brief usability study.
