Abstract
An apparatus comprising a first sensor, a second sensor and a processor. The first sensor may be configured to generate a first video signal based on a targeted view from a vehicle. The second sensor may be configured to generate a second video signal based on a targeted view of a driver. The processor may be configured to (A) receive the first video signal, (B) receive the second video signal, (C) determine a field of view to present to the driver, (D) generate a third video signal and (E) present the third video signal to a display showing the field of view. The field of view is determined based on (i) a body position of the driver extracted from the second video signal and (ii) the first video signal.
