Abstract: Controlling a display in an augmented reality head-up display for a vehicle. At least one safety-relevant parameter is determined in a first step. If two or more safety-relevant parameters are determined, one of the determined parameters can optionally be selected as a critical parameter. The intensity of the display element displayed on the augmented reality head-up display is subsequently adjusted on the basis of the at least one safety-relevant parameter. The display element is then output for display on the augmented reality head-up display.

Abstract: Augmented reality systems and methods for creating, saving and rendering designs comprising multiple items of virtual content in a three-dimensional (3D) environment of a user. The designs may be saved as a scene, which is built by a user from pre-built sub-components, built components, and/or previously saved scenes. Location information, expressed as a saved scene anchor and position relative to the saved scene anchor for each item of virtual content, may also be saved. Upon opening the scene, the saved scene anchor node may be correlated to a location within the mixed reality environment of the user for whom the scene is opened. The virtual items of the scene may be positioned with the same relationship to that location as they have to the saved scene anchor node. That location may be selected automatically and/or by user input.
