A vehicle exterior viewing system is described. The displayed images represent the external environment around a vehicle. The displayed images are controlled by detecting at least one of the eye gaze and the head position of the driver. An exterior viewing imager system can produce the image data and can include a camera and a gimbal to support the camera. At least one display is adapted to display an exterior image from the imager system. A tracker system senses position and/or gaze of the driver. A controller receives data from the tracker and the imager system to change an image on the display based on data from the tracker. In an example, the imager system includes a driver-side imager positioned on a driver-side of the vehicle to provide a diver-side view of the vehicle and a passenger-side imager positioned on a passenger-side of the vehicle to provide a passenger-side view of the vehicle.
