A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11987123B2) outlines a method and system for providing displays in motor vehicles based on the direction of view of passengers. The method involves detecting the direction of view of passengers in the vehicle and providing displays with information about objects in the landscape that are not relevant to road traffic. When multiple passengers are detected, the system tailors the display to each passenger's line of sight, ensuring that the information is presented in the area where their views intersect. The patent also details the use of various display devices such as head-up displays, hologram devices, LED displays, or liquid-crystal displays for projecting the information.

Furthermore, the patent describes a motor vehicle equipped with a direction of view detection device and display devices that provide information about objects in the landscape viewed by passengers. The vehicle includes position detection and object detection devices integrated within the vehicle or accessible via external devices like smartphones or tablets. The system is designed to adapt the display information based on the occupants' preferences in a self-learning manner. Additionally, the display devices can be embedded in various parts of the vehicle, including windows, cladding, or even wearable devices like eyeglasses. The patent also highlights the use of a data processing device to carry out the method of determining positions, identifying objects, and providing tailored displays based on the passengers' directions of view.
