Abstract
An optical device () for a motor vehicle, for projecting a graphic element into a region in front of the optical device. The device includes a laser light source (), an infrared light source (), a light guiding device (), an infrared detector (), a time-of-flight sensor device (), and a control device (), wherein the light guiding device is configured to produce a light distribution with laser light from the laser light source and to form an infrared light beam from infrared light from the infrared light source, wherein the infrared detector is configured to detect reflected infrared light from a measurement object and send a first sensor signal, wherein the sensor device is configured to detect a measurement object and send a second sensor signal, wherein the control device is configured to change the light distribution depending on the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal.
