Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for presenting a shared virtual environment to users residing in different vehicles while driving in a real-world environment. In at least one of the vehicles, an interactive user device of that vehicle receives definition data from the user residing in that vehicle, wherein the definition data describe a new virtual event for the virtual environment, and a position sensor of the vehicle generates position data of the vehicle while the user generates the definition data, wherein the position data describe a current position of the vehicle in the real-world environment. A server device receives the definition data and the corresponding position data and generates corresponding event data of a new virtual event, wherein based on the position data a trigger region is defined that defines where in the real-world environment the virtual event shall be triggered for the users in their respective vehicle.
