Abstract
Methods and systems for presenting images to vehicle occupants are disclosed. A system in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes at least one display portion configured to display an image and be positioned proximate to a seat location within the vehicle. A first signal receiving portion can be configured to receive an input image signal, and a second signal receiving portion can be configured to receive a motion signal corresponding to a motion of the vehicle. A processing portion can be configured to direct to the at least one display portion a time-varying output signal that appears to move by less than an object actually positioned external to the vehicle would appear to move to an occupant at the seat location of the vehicle. Accordingly, the viewer may be less susceptible to motion sickness by receiving visual cues that correspond to less motion than the occupant feels.
