A display apparatus for a vehicle includes: a controller configured to create a 3D map based on a neon view by selecting essential information among map information; and a display device configured to display the 3D map based on the neon view created by the controller, wherein the controller displays a structure on a background screen of the map information by using a shadow or displays the structure on a dark background screen by using an outline of the structure when the 3D map based on the neon view is created.

Display apparatus for vehicle and method thereof

A display apparatus for a vehicle includes: a controller configured to create map information; and a display device configured to display the map information created by the controller, wherein the controller controls the display device to display a path guidance texture based on a road shape when guiding a path among the map information.

Apparatus for displaying information of a vehicle and method thereof

A user interface (UI) generating apparatus includes: an object recognition device configured to photograph a front or surroundings of a moving device and to recognize a real object from a photographed image; an image generator configured to create a virtual object for driving guidance of the moving device to generate an augmented real image obtained by composing the virtual object with the photographed image; and a display device configured to display the augmented reality image, wherein the image generator creates a virtual object that is changed in conjunction with a speed of the moving device, and creates a reinforcement virtual object capable of compensating the real object based on characteristics of the real object.
