SAFETY SYSTEM FOR AUGMENTING ROADWAY OBJECTS ON A HEADS-UP DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- monitoring, with one or more processors, for a roadway object;
detecting, with the one or more processors, the roadway object;
generating graphical data configured to emphasize the roadway object on a heads-up display;
determining whether a user sees the roadway object;
responsive to the user failing to see the roadway object, determining whether the roadway object is critical; and
responsive to the roadway object being critical, enhancing a graphic output on the heads-up display to get the user'"'"'s attention.
