1. Method to display a graphic illustrating an operational environment of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- monitoring informational inputs describing the operational environment of the vehicle;
processing the informational inputs to determine critical information;
monitoring location of the eyes of an operator of the vehicle;
determining a registered graphic describing the critical information hidden from a view of the operator by a non-transparent component of the vehicle based upon the location of the eyes of the operator; and
displaying the registered graphic describing the critical information hidden from the view of the operator upon the non-transparent component of the vehicle, the non-transparent component comprising a material reactive to display graphics in response to an excitation projector.

10. Method to display a graphic illustrating an operational environment of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
monitoring informational inputs describing the operational environment of the vehicle; processing the informational inputs to determine critical information; monitoring a location of the eyes of an operator of the vehicle; determining a registered graphic describing the critical information for display upon a substantially transparent windscreen head up display comprising one of light emitting particles or microstructures over a predefined region of the windscreen permitting luminescent display while permitting vision through the windscreen based upon the location of the eyes of the operator; displaying the registered graphic describing the critical information for display upon the substantially transparent windscreen head up display; determining a registered graphic describing the critical information hidden from a view of the operator of the vehicle by a structural pillar located along a side edge of the substantially transparent windscreen head up display based upon the location of the eyes of the operator; and displaying the registered graphic describing the critical information hidden from the view of the operator upon the structural pillar comprising a material reactive to display graphics in response to an excitation projector. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. System to display registered graphical images within a vehicle describing an operational environment for the vehicle, the method comprising:
-
a device monitoring the operational environment of the vehicle; the substantially transparent windscreen head up display comprising one of light emitting particles or microstructures over a predefined region of the windscreen permitting luminescent display while permitting vision through the windscreen; a structural pillar located adjacent to the substantially transparent windscreen head up display comprising a material reactive to display graphics in response to an excitation projector; a sensor describing a location of the eyes of an occupant of the vehicle; an enhanced vision system system manager monitoring information from the device configured to monitor the operational environment of the vehicle, and generating registered display requirements based upon the sensor describing the location of the eyes of the occupant; a graphics system generating the registered graphical images to be displayed based upon the registered display requirements; and a graphics projection system communicating with the graphics system and displaying the registered graphical images upon the substantially transparent windscreen head up display and the structural pillar, the graphics projection system comprising the excitation projector. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
