Abstract

A display system for a vehicle includes an image capture module, a projecting panel and a stereoscopic projection device. The image capture module is configured for mounting on a vehicle and capturing an image of the traffic to the rear of the vehicle. The projecting panel is configured for being positioned in front of a driver'"'"'s seat in the vehicle. The stereoscopic projection device is configured for projecting a stereo image of the captured image on the projecting panel.
