providing a light projector in the cabin interior of the automotive vehicle, the light projector configured to adapt to luminous interferences caused by internal lighting elements of the automotive vehicle;
sending data to the light projector regarding the lighting conditions in the cabin interior of the automotive vehicle;
using the data to modify a projection parameter of a light pattern, wherein the projection parameter is at least one of a maximum luminous intensity, an average luminous intensity, a minimum luminous intensity; and
projecting the light pattern, wherein the light pattern includes light pixels such that a modification of the projection parameter affects a luminous intensity of at least one of the light pixels.
