Data eyeglasses include a first display, a camera, and an analyzing unit. The data eyeglasses is configured to: record the surroundings of the data eyeglasses via the camera, detect an image displayed by a second display in the recordings of the camera; detect that the displayed image has a marker for determining the pose of the data eyeglasses; detect the marker; and determine the pose of the data eyeglasses by use of the detected marker.

Determining the pose of a head mounted display

In a method or corresponding device for operating a vehicle equipped with a first and a second camera configured to capture a surrounding region around the vehicle, the cameras respectively capture an individual image of a first field of view and a second field of view. The fields of view overlap in an overlapping region. An object correction is performed as a function of image data of the individual images, in which object correction a distance of objects imaged in the second individual image is respectively determined from a predetermined reference point. An angle of the respective object is respectively determined in relation to a predetermined reference axis. Whether the respective object is situated in the overlapping region is determined on the basis of the determined angle and distance of the respective object. Should this be the case, the respective object is removed from the second individual image. Subsequently, an overall image is determined after performing the object correction, which overall image is composed as a function of the first individual image and the second individual image.

Method and device for operating a vehicle

An electrical system comprised of at least two control modules as well as at least one power supply module. The present invention improves functional reliability of electrical systems by configuring a power supply module as a smart device and connecting it to at least one of the control modules for the purpose of data exchange and, in case of a malfunction, transforming the control module(s) to one of a stand-alone operating mode and a cut-off state.

Electrical system, and control module and smart power supply for electrical system

In an optical data bus for a vehicle with transmit/receive units (TRUs) that exchange data messages over optical connecting lines and are supplied with electrical energy, the receiving TRU can be deactivated to reduce energy consumption and then reactivated for a short time. The transmitting TRU emits a light pulse whose length is greater than the duration of its resting phase.
