Aspects of the present disclosure involve projecting an interactive scene onto a surface from a projecting object. In one particular embodiment, the interactive scene is projected from a vehicle and may be utilized by the vehicle to provide a scene or image that a user may interact with through various gestures detected by the system. In addition, the interactive scene may be customized to one or more preferences determined by the system, such as user preferences, system preferences, or preferences obtained through feedback from similar systems. Based on one or more user inputs (such as user gestures received at the system), the projected scene may be altered or new scenes may be projected. In addition, control over some aspects of the vehicle (such as unlocking of doors, starting of the motor, etc.) may be controlled through the interactive scene and the detected gestures of the users.

System and method for interactive scene projection

A method includes determining temperature values for roadway areas ahead of a vehicle, determining lubricant state values for the roadway areas, and determining lubricant thickness values for the roadway areas. The method also includes determining a tire-road friction estimate for each of the roadway areas using the temperature values, the lubricant state values, and the lubricant thickness values, and defining a friction map that relates the tire-road friction estimates to the roadway areas. The method also includes determining a motion plan based at least in part on the friction map, and controlling the vehicle based on the motion plan.

Tire-road friction estimation and mapping

A light emitting device includes a region of first conductivity type, a region of second conductivity type, an active region, and an electrode. The active region is disposed between the region of first conductivity type and the region of second conductivity type and the region of second conductivity type is disposed between the active region and the electrode. The active region has a total thickness less than or equal to about 0.25&#x3bb;and has a portion located between about 0.6&#x3bb;and 0.75&#x3bb;from the electrode, where &#x3bb;is the wavelength of light emitted by the active region in the region of second conductivity type. In some embodiments, the active region includes a plurality of clusters, with a portion of a first cluster located between about 0.6&#x3bb;and 0.75&#x3bb;from the electrode and a portion of a second cluster located between about 1.2&#x3bb;and 1.35&#x3bb;from the electrode.

Light emitting devices with compact active regions

A III-nitride light emitting device including a substrate, a first conductivity type layer overlying the substrate, a spacer layer overlying the first conductivity type layer, an active region overlying the spacer layer, a cap layer overlying the active region, and a second conductivity type layer overlying the cap layer is disclosed. The active region includes a quantum well layer and a barrier layer containing indium. The barrier layer may be doped with a dopant of first conductivity type and may have an indium composition between 1% and 15%. In some embodiments, the light emitting device includes an InGaN lower confinement layer formed between the first conductivity type layer and the active region. In some embodiments, the light emitting device includes an InGaN upper confinement layer formed between the second conductivity type layer and the active region. In some embodiments, the light emitting device includes an InGaN cap layer formed between the upper confinement layer and the active region.
