  • Patent number: 12099115
    Abstract: Contents are displayed by use of electronic smartglasses a vehicle occupant is wearing in a motor vehicle. The electronic smartglasses have a satellite-based capturing device by use of which a position of the motor vehicle is continuously captured. A movement of the motor vehicle is ascertained based on the continuously captured position of the motor vehicle and the contents displayed by use of the electronic smartglasses are adapted to the ascertained movement of the motor vehicle to prevent kinetosis in the vehicle occupant.

  • Patent number: 12037003
    Abstract: While a motor vehicle is travelling, a selected offer of entertainment for a vehicle occupant is output by use of a display device arranged in the motor vehicle. Driving characteristics of the motor vehicle are adapted by a control device of the motor vehicle to the offer of entertainment output at a given moment and the motor vehicle is autonomously controlled in a way corresponding to the adapted driving characteristics.

  • Patent number: 11928254
    Abstract: The invention relates to virtual reality glasses for a vehicle, which glasses are designed to display virtual contents coordinated with movements of the vehicle, wherein the virtual reality glasses have a chin strap by means of which the virtual reality glasses can be secured in a chin region of a wearer of the virtual reality glasses, and/or the virtual reality glasses are set up to allow the virtual contents to be displayed only if the performance of a safety measure has been detected by the virtual reality glasses.

  • Patent number: 11364441
    Abstract: Relative movement, in relation to a vehicle interior, of an electronic display device worn on the head is ascertained by an acquisition device arranged on the electronic display device. A virtual perspective of a wearer of the electronic display device, located in the vehicle interior, of displayed virtual content is adapted in accordance with the ascertained relative movement. In addition, a contour of the vehicle interior is acquired by the acquisition device and a virtual contour corresponding to the contour of the vehicle interior is displayed.

  • Patent number: 11366326
    Abstract: A relative movement of a head-wearable electronic display device is determined with respect to a vehicle interior of a vehicle by way of a recording device arranged on the electronic display device and a virtual perspective of a wearer of the electronic display device is adapted to virtual content according to the determined relative movement. A recording range of the recording device is limited to the vehicle interior in order to eliminate distortions, resulting from a relative movement of the vehicle with respect to the vehicle surroundings, with regard to the recording of the relative movement of the electronic display device with respect to the vehicle interior.

  • Patent number: 11277584
    Abstract: A virtual meeting is carried out between at least one first person and one second person, in which the virtual meeting is displayed in the form of a first virtual surrounding area by use of a first display device assigned to the first person and in the form of a second virtual surrounding area by use of a second display device assigned to the second person. The first person may be disposed in a moving vehicle whose vehicle movement is sensed and the representation of the first virtual surrounding area is selected in accordance with the sensed movement of the vehicle. The second person may be disposed in a reference system which differs from the vehicle and whose movement is sensed, and the representation of the second virtual surrounding area is selected in accordance with the sensed movement of the reference system.

  • Publication number: 20210291657
    Abstract: In displaying content superposed in a visual field of a vehicle occupant by a display device worn on the head of the vehicle occupant, vehicle regions are specified on which content must not be superposed. Alternatively, only content that is redundant with respect to content currently displayed within the vehicle regions may be superposed on the restricted vehicle regions.
