ENHANCED 3-DIMENSIONAL (3-D) NAVIGATION
First Claim
1. A system for 3-dimensional (3-D) navigation, comprising:
- a sensor component tracking one or more objects in an environment surrounding a vehicle and one or more corresponding coordinates for respective objects relative to the vehicle;
a heads-up display (HUD) component projecting one or more graphic elements on one or more focal planes corresponding to one or more of the objects, wherein one or more of the graphic elements are projected in view of an occupant of the vehicle; and
a controller component calculating one or more updated focal planes for one or more of the graphic elements based on one or more of the coordinates for respective objects.

Abstract
One or more embodiments of techniques or systems for 3-dimensional (3-D) navigation are provided herein. A heads-up display (HUD) component can project, render, display, or present graphic elements on focal planes around an environment surrounding a vehicle. The HUD component can cause these graphic elements to appear volumetric or 3-D by moving or adjusting a distance between a focal plane and the vehicle. Objects within the environment may be tracked, identified, and corresponding graphic elements may be projected on, near, or around respective objects. For example, the HUD component may project graphic elements or pointers on pedestrians such that it may alert the driver or operator of the vehicle of their presence. These pointers may stay ‘stuck’ on the pedestrian as he or she is walking within the environment. Metadata associated with objects may be presented, such as address information, ratings, telephone numbers, logos, etc.

11. A system for 3-dimensional (3-D) navigation, comprising:
-
a navigation component receiving metadata associated with one or more objects in an environment surrounding a vehicle, a layout for respective objects within the environment, and a current location of the vehicle relative to the layout; a controller component calculating one or more focal planes for one or more graphic elements based on the layout of one or more of the objects and the current location of the vehicle; and a heads-up display (HUD) component projecting one or more of the graphic elements on one or more of the focal planes corresponding to one or more of the objects, wherein one or more of the graphic elements are projected in view of an occupant of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for 3-dimensional (3-D) navigation, comprising:
-
tracking one or more objects in an environment surrounding a vehicle and determining one or more corresponding coordinates for respective objects relative to the vehicle; calculating one or more focal planes for one or more graphic elements based on one or more of the coordinates for respective objects; and rendering one or more of the graphic elements on one or more of the focal planes corresponding to one or more of the objects, wherein one or more of the graphic elements are projected in view of an occupant of the vehicle, wherein the tracking, the calculating, or the rendering is implemented via a processing unit.
