Abstract
An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a transparent screen, attached to at least a part of the windshield, and configured to refract light of a projection towards a driver of the vehicle, a projector configured to project an image onto the transparent screen, an eye tracking sensor configured to detect a gaze direction of the driver by tracking left and right eyes of the driver, a memory storing a program including one or more instructions for controlling the electronic device, a processor. The processor implements the method, including: altering the image projected onto the transparent screen based at least on the detected gaze direction, to correct distortion of the image as perceivable by the driver when the image is projected onto the transparent screen.
