1. An information system for guiding a driver of a vehicle, comprising:
- a camera constructed and arranged to capture light from the field of view of said driver without capturing a retinal reflex image;
an information unit, comprising a position sensor and configured and adapted to determine current positioning information of the vehicle;
to provide additional data associated to the current positioning information;
to extract information from said captured field-of-view light; and
to determine a correlation between the extracted information and the additional data; and
an output unit constructed and arranged to provide guidance information to said driver using said determined correlation provided by said information unit;
wherein the output unit comprises a projection unit constructed and arranged to receive an image signal representative of an image from the information unit and for visibly projecting said image to said driver;
an optical signal unit configured and adapted to capture optical signals reflected back from an eye of said driver; and
the information unit is further determining a position and/or orientation of said eye based on said captured optical signals;
wherein the projection unit is configured to blend the guidance information into the field of view of said driver based on the determined position and/or orientation of said eye of said driver.

Abstract
A method and information system for capturing signals, for processing signals, and for providing signals at least partially based on, or bearing correlation to, the captured signals is disclosed. The information system includes a signal input unit, a wireless communication unit, and an output unit. The signal input unit (preferably an optical signal unit) is constructed and is positionable to capture signals associated with an eye. The output unit is constructed to provide information based on the captured signals or to provide information as a function of the captured signals or in correlation with the captured signals.
