Abstract
The disclosed subject matter generally relates to alerting a vehicle driver having impaired eye sight of an object present in a portion of a field of view of the driver where the driver has impaired eye sight. With embodiments of the present disclosure, a driver with impaired eye sight may be provided with an alert when an object is present in a portion of a field of view of the driver where the driver has impaired eye sight. In this way may drivers who otherwise may feel uncomfortable driving due to impaired eye sight in parts of their field of view, be provided with an aid for safely driving the vehicle. This provides for improved quality of life for the person who may be able to safely drive the vehicle, and also for an improved safety when the person drives the vehicle.
