Abstract

A vehicle-integrated projector projects an image onto a window of a vehicle including a layer of holographic film. Upon detecting a sensed condition indicative of a possible projection of the image onto a surface beyond the window, projection of the image is adjusted to diminish a visibility of the projection of the image beyond the window independent of headlight actuation.
