Abstract
A user interface for a vehicle presents visible information and acquires user input. The user interface includes a two-dimensional display and an optical faceplate. The two-dimensional display displays information on a display portion. The optical faceplate includes a contact surface, a three-dimensional display surface, and an optic light guide material provided between the contact surface and the three-dimensional display surface. The two-dimensional display includes a pixel arrangement. The contact surface contacts the two-dimensional display to transmit information from the pixel arrangement to the three-dimensional display surface. The three-dimensional display surface is touch sensitive. The optical faceplate is arrangeable within a cabin of the vehicle.
