Abstract: A method is provided for visualizing optical information in the central field of vision of a driver in such a way that a display (5) in the form of a virtual image is superimposed on a real traffic environment. A position of the display (5) is dynamically variable as a function of a vehicle speed, a steering angle, and a road type. Thus a horizontal and/or vertical spread of a display range (8) between a first maximum value (9) and a second maximum value (10) within which the display (5) can be displayed is varied as a function of speed, steering angle and roadway type.
