Contents are displayed by use of electronic smartglasses a vehicle occupant is wearing in a motor vehicle. The electronic smartglasses have a satellite-based capturing device by use of which a position of the motor vehicle is continuously captured. A movement of the motor vehicle is ascertained based on the continuously captured position of the motor vehicle and the contents displayed by use of the electronic smartglasses are adapted to the ascertained movement of the motor vehicle to prevent kinetosis in the vehicle occupant.

Method for operating electronic data glasses in a motor vehicle, and electronic data glasses

While a motor vehicle is travelling, a selected offer of entertainment for a vehicle occupant is output by use of a display device arranged in the motor vehicle. Driving characteristics of the motor vehicle are adapted by a control device of the motor vehicle to the offer of entertainment output at a given moment and the motor vehicle is autonomously controlled in a way corresponding to the adapted driving characteristics.

Method and control device for operating a motor vehicle

During an at least partially autonomous driving operation of a motor vehicle, an arrangement and mode of action of environmental sensors of the motor vehicle, the sensor data of which are used in the at least partially autonomous driving operation, is visualized by use of a display device arranged in the motor vehicle. The motor vehicle includes a data interface for wirelessly transmitting data to the display device.

Method and a display device for visualising an arrangement and method of operation of surroundings sensors of a motor vehicle

Data characterizing a relative arrangement of vehicle occupants with respect to one another are continuously transmitted to display devices worn on the heads of the vehicle occupants. Virtual environments are displayed as a function of these data.

Method and system for operating at least two display devices carried by respective vehicle occupants on the head

A relative movement of a head-wearable electronic display device is determined with respect to a vehicle interior of a vehicle by way of a recording device arranged on the electronic display device and a virtual perspective of a wearer of the electronic display device is adapted to virtual content according to the determined relative movement. A recording range of the recording device is limited to the vehicle interior in order to eliminate distortions, resulting from a relative movement of the vehicle with respect to the vehicle surroundings, with regard to the recording of the relative movement of the electronic display device with respect to the vehicle interior.

Method for operating a head-mounted electronic display device, and display system for displaying a virtual content

Relative movement, in relation to a vehicle interior, of an electronic display device worn on the head is ascertained by an acquisition device arranged on the electronic display device. A virtual perspective of a wearer of the electronic display device, located in the vehicle interior, of displayed virtual content is adapted in accordance with the ascertained relative movement. In addition, a contour of the vehicle interior is acquired by the acquisition device and a virtual contour corresponding to the contour of the vehicle interior is displayed.

Method for operating an electronic display device wearable on the head and display system for displaying virtual content

A virtual meeting is carried out between at least one first person and one second person, in which the virtual meeting is displayed in the form of a first virtual surrounding area by use of a first display device assigned to the first person and in the form of a second virtual surrounding area by use of a second display device assigned to the second person. The first person may be disposed in a moving vehicle whose vehicle movement is sensed and the representation of the first virtual surrounding area is selected in accordance with the sensed movement of the vehicle. The second person may be disposed in a reference system which differs from the vehicle and whose movement is sensed, and the representation of the second virtual surrounding area is selected in accordance with the sensed movement of the reference system.

A mobile sensor apparatus includes a capture device for capturing vehicle movements of the vehicle and an interface for transmitting data relating to the vehicle movements to a head-worn visual output device. A display system includes the mobile sensor apparatus and the head-worn visual output device.

Mobile sensor apparatus for a head-worn visual output device usable in a vehicle, and method for operating a display system

A predefined virtual theme defines a specific virtual way of movement within a virtual environment. A route is selected which best matches the predefined virtual theme Movements of the motor vehicle are detected during a journey along the selected route. The virtual reality glasses are controlled so that a vehicle occupant wearing the virtual reality glasses moves virtually within the virtual environment according to the detected movements of the motor vehicle and according to the predefined virtual way of movement of the predefined virtual theme.

Method and system for operating at least one pair of virtual reality glasses in a motor vehicle

A virtual environment is displayed from a first virtual perspective by a first pair of virtual reality glasses worn by a first person, the first virtual perspective being predefined according to a detected head position and/or head orientation of the first person. The same virtual environment is displayed from the first virtual perspective by a further pair of virtual reality spectacles worn by a further person. The further pair of virtual reality glasses has a total available display area divided into a first display area which displays the virtual environment from the first virtual perspective and a second display area which displays the virtual environment from a further virtual perspective predefined according to a detected head position and/or head orientation of the further person.

Method for operating a virtual reality system, and virtual reality system

A virtual reality system displays a virtual motor vehicle from a virtual observation position using virtual reality glasses worn by a person. If the virtual motor vehicle is displayed in an interior view, a height of the virtual observation position is set depending on a height position of the virtual reality glasses detected by a detection device, and depending on the vehicle model of the virtual motor vehicle on display. If the virtual motor vehicle is displayed in an exterior view, the height of the virtual observation position is set depending on the detected height position of the virtual reality glasses but independently of the vehicle model.

A speed at which a person who has donned a pair of virtual reality glasses performs a change of position within a detection space is detected in a virtual reality system. If it is detected that the change of position takes place within a prescribed subregion of the detection space, a virtual speed that is greater by a prescribed factor than the detected speed of the person is prescribed and a virtual observation position within a virtual environment is changed in accordance with the prescribed virtual speed, during which the virtual reality glasses are used to display a virtual object arranged within the virtual environment from the changing virtual observation position.

A position of virtual reality glasses is detected using a detection device, a virtual observation position is predefined depending on the detected position of the virtual reality glasses, and a virtual bounding volume which surrounds the virtual observation position at least partially is predefined, a virtual object arranged in a virtual environment is displayed from the virtual observation position using the virtual reality glasses. As long as a part of the virtual object is immersed in the virtual bounding volume, this part is displayed as being at least partially transparent.

The invention relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle when changing lanes on a roadway consisting of at least three lanes, with the steps: detection by a monitoring system in the vehicle of an impending lane change of the motor vehicle from a first lane to an adjoining second lane; detection of an impending lane change by another vehicle from a third lane that adjoins the second lane, to the second lane; the monitoring system determining whether a collision with the other vehicle threatens if the vehicle changes lanes; as soon as a threatened collision is determined, a warning signal is issued by a warning device and/or the motor vehicle is influenced in its lateral motion by a driver assistance system of the vehicle. In addition, it relates to a motor vehicle with a monitoring system.
