Technologies and techniques for controlling a display of an augmented reality display device for a motor vehicle. A maneuver scheduler determines a target maneuver of the motor vehicle. An execution location of the target maneuver is determined. A graphics generator generates a target maneuver marking for a display by the augmented reality display device on the basis of the information. The target maneuver marking is outputted for display by the augmented reality display device. The target maneuver marking is displayed in such a way that the target maneuver marking is displayed in a stationary manner in the region of the execution location of the target maneuver perpendicularly on a lane to be travelled by the motor vehicle.

The invention relates to a method for calculating an AR overlay of additional information for display on an AR display unit, in particular a head-up display of a vehicle or smart glasses. The AR overlay is used to display a navigation route on the AR display unit. The navigation route is recalculated from time to time by a navigation system. The method is characterized in that the AR overlay is calculated in such a way that the recalculated route is displayed at least at a certain first distance before a branch-off point, and the driver is given an operating option of switching back and forth between the overview of the recalculated route and the previously calculated route.

A method for displaying a safety zone in front of a transportation vehicle or object. The safety zone is shown on a display unit. The safety zone is displayed as a grid and the end of the grid that is remote from the transportation vehicle indicates the end of the safety zone at the measured speed, taking into consideration the determined driving situation.

Apparatus, system and method for docking and/or undocking a remote device, A docking body includes a docking cavity and an access cavity, for providing lateral support, guidance and access for the remote device. Communications is configured to receive a control signal based on a sensed condition, wherein the sensed condition may include a proximity and/or position of a user's hand relative to the docking body, and/or an operating parameter of a vehicle. A coupling apparatus is provided for magnetically coupling the body of the remote device to at least a portion of the docking body. The coupling apparatus may be configured to modify the strength of the magnetic coupling based on the control signal to assist in insertion/removal. Under illustrative configurations, the docking body and the coupling apparatus allow for oblique insertion and oblique removal of the body of the remote device.
