Poster: Lifted road map view on windshield display

A new road map visualization method at window shield display for vehicle driver is proposed. Road structure ahead of a vehicle is shown by CG line segments at the upper area of driver view in augmented reality fashion. Road line segments are virtually placed as if they are lifted up in the sky. By our new visualization method, the rendered CG does not occlude objects and roads that are crucial for drivers. Yet the drivers can easily understand the road map because the road line segments in the sky has vertical correspondence with the road on the ground. We have implemented a prototype of window shield display and realized our new visualization method on a vehicle. We also conducted a preliminary experiment for evaluation.
