Abstract:
1. A method for displaying a rotational pointer at radial positions on a display surface of a vehicle instrument panel, comprising: computing a first radial position of the pointer on the display surface according to a first measurement carried out by a sensor in the vehicle; displaying the pointer on the display surface at said first radial position; computing a second radial position of the pointer on the display surface according to a second measurement carried out by said sensor in the vehicle; displaying the pointer on the display surface at said second radial position; wherein the radial thickness of the pointer, when displayed at said second radial position, is increased relative to the radial thickness of the pointer, when displayed at the first radial position, proportionally according to a deviation between the first and second computed radial positions and smaller than a deviation between the first and second computed radial positions.
