A virtual visor system is disclosed that includes a visor having a plurality of independently operable pixels that are selectively operated with a variable opacity. A camera captures images of the face of a driver or other passenger and, based on the captured images, a controller operates the visor to automatically and selectively darken a limited portion thereof to block the sun or other illumination source from striking the eyes of the driver, while leaving the remainder of the visor transparent. The visor system advantageously predicts future positions of the head or eyes of the driver when the driver’s head is in motion. Based on the predictions, the optical state of the visor is updated proactively to anticipate future movements of head of the driver. In this way, some of the negative effects of measurement and processing latencies are mitigated when responding to rapid head motions.
