1. A heads up display system for a vehicle interior comprising:

  • a light modifying panel configured to cyclically transition between a substantially light transmissive state that facilitates light passage through the light modifying panel and a partially reflective state that facilitates light reflection toward an occupant of a vehicle;

    a pulsating light source configured to cyclically project an image onto the light modifying panel; and

    a controller configured to control the pulsating light source and the light modifying panel;

    wherein the controller, while the heads up display system is in use, is configured to transition the light modifying panel between the substantially light transmissive state and the partially reflective state at a target frequency, to instruct the pulsating light source to cyclically project the image at the target frequency, and to synchronize the cyclic projection of the pulsating light source with the cyclic transition of the light modifying panel such that the pulsating light source projects the image onto the light modifying panel only while the light modifying panel is in the partially reflective state.
