Abstract:
1. A device for creating a combined display viewable in a line of sight of a driver of a vehicle, the line of sight being offset by a first angle from horizontal with respect to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, the device configured to: generate a first display that is directly viewable by the driver at a tilt angle that corresponds to a natural orientation of a paper map held by the driver; generate a second display that is not directly viewable by the driver; project the second display onto a first combiner of the device, the first combiner reflecting the second display into the line of sight, the combined display comprising the first display and the reflected second display; generate a third display, the combined display comprising the third display; and project the third display onto a second combiner of the device, the second combiner reflecting the third display into the line of sight, wherein the second display appears to the driver to be displayed on a first virtual panel orthogonal to the line of sight, and wherein the third display appears to the driver to be displayed on a second virtual pane orthogonal to the line of sight.
