Abstract
A vehicle badge system includes a housing that defines an opening and an aperture proximate the opening. The housing defines a light-transmissive feature on a side thereof. A lens is coupled to the housing proximate the opening. The lens defines at least one grating. An image-based assembly defines a sensor field to obtain data. The image-based assembly defines a projector field to display a projected image. A first light source is configured to direct light through the light-transmissive feature. A second light source is configured to direct light through the lens. The at least one grating is configured to diffract the light emitted from the second light source.
