A display device that can be worn on the head of a vehicle occupant of a motor vehicle is controlled to display a virtual environment within which the vehicle occupant wearing the display device virtually moves according to a detected movement of the motor vehicle. A potential stopping point of the motor vehicle is determined. A deceleration of the motor vehicle is detected within a given environment of the potential stopping point and the display device is controlled to output a virtual scene staging within the virtual environment which causes a deceleration of the virtual movement of the vehicle occupant within the virtual environment corresponding to the deceleration of the motor vehicle.

Movement data characterizing the movement of a vehicle in which electronic smartglasses are used, are sent by a portable apparatus from a data output to the electronic smartglasses for reducing simulator-sickness-induced impairments. The electronic smartglasses display data taking into account the movement data.

A control device in a motor vehicle receives a signal from a sensor device which includes at least one image of the current interior situation. The control device generates a superimposition signal containing the at least one image of the current interior situation and transmits the superimposition signal to a display element of a display apparatus. The display apparatus superimposes the at least one image of the current interior situation onto predefined output content output to a user.

During a journey using a motor vehicle, a virtual environment is displayed by use of a display device and additionally a virtual representation of a route layout located in front of the motor vehicle is also displayed by use of the display device within the virtual environment. The display device may be used in the motor vehicle.

Surroundings data, relating to at least one surrounding area in the surroundings of a motor vehicle situated in a field of vision of a vehicle occupant, are obtained by a sensor system of the motor vehicle. At least one piece of information, which needs to be output to the user, is provided by an information source. The information is at least partially overlaid on a display of the surrounding area by a display device with the type of information presentation and/or the position at, and/or the orientation in, which the information presentation is visualized being dependent on the surroundings data.

Operation of a head-worn display device in a motor vehicle includes a control device checking a condition of whether there is a vehicle occupant in the motor vehicle other than a driver, when the motor vehicle is not operated in an autonomous driving mode. If the condition is satisfied then a display of all content by the head-worn display device is stopped by the control device if the display device is virtual reality glasses and the display of exclusively traffic-relevant content by the display device is enabled by the control device if the display device is augmented reality glasses.

In displaying content superposed in a visual field of a vehicle occupant by a display device worn on the head of the vehicle occupant, vehicle regions are specified on which content must not be superposed. Alternatively, only content that is redundant with respect to content currently displayed within the vehicle regions may be superposed on the restricted vehicle regions.

Upon detecting that an occupant has donned electronic smart glasses, an occupant protection system in a vehicle takes into account that the occupant is wearing electronic smart glasses.

Data characterizing a section of a route traveled by a motor vehicle during reproduction of virtual contents, reproduced virtual contents and/or states of vehicle occupants during reproduction of the virtual contents are transferred to a vehicle-external server device. The transferred data are evaluated by the vehicle-external server device.

Method and system for evaluating virtual content reproduced in motor vehicles

Multiple different entertainment offerings are made available to a user can be played back via at least one pair of electronic data glasses in a motor vehicle. The system analyzes how well the route characteristics of an upcoming route to a destination and/or how well the respective route characteristics of a road network in the vicinity of the motor vehicle match the entertainment offerings provided. The entertainment offerings are varied depending on the analysis.

Method for operating at least one pair of electronic augmented reality glasses in a motor vehicle, and display device for a motor vehicle

A method operates a mobile virtual reality system in a motor vehicle. The method involves providing a configuration of a virtual motor vehicle, detecting a position of a pair of virtual reality glasses arranged in the motor vehicle, in particular a pair of virtual reality glasses that a user has put on, and operating the virtual reality glasses such that they display the configured virtual motor vehicle from a virtual viewing position that corresponds to the detected position of the virtual reality glasses in the motor vehicle. A mobile virtual reality system includes the pair of virtual reality glasses.

A plurality of virtual individual sequences that can be reproduced by use of a display device in a motor vehicle are provided. At least some of the provided individual sequences are reproduced by use of the display device while traveling a route with the motor vehicle. A selection and determination of a reproduction order of the individual sequences are effected so as to match a characteristic of the route and such that the individual sequences connect a specified entry sequence and end sequence to form a coherent experience.

A predetermined touch action is performed by a user at a location on a touch-sensitive screen. The location is registered and associated with presentation content. If at least the first condition that the associated presentation content includes at least one portion of an uninterrupted character unit is satisfied, then at least one first selection menu is presented. The menu items from the first selection menu provide a selection option between the uninterrupted character unit and at least one second unit of text associated with the uninterrupted character unit as at least one element from the group includes a sentence and paragraph. Selection of a first menu item involves the uninterrupted character unit, and selection of a second menu item involves the second unit of text, being selected as the section of text to be selected.
