On the basis of the first video images detected by a first one of the video cameras, a first recognition and/or tracking of virtual objects is carried out and, on the basis of the second video images detected by a second one of the video cameras, a second recognition and/or tracking of virtual objects is carried out, the virtual objects corresponding to real objects at least in the overlap region.
