  • Patent number: 11645820
    Abstract: Operation of a head-worn display device in a motor vehicle includes a control device checking a condition of whether there is a vehicle occupant in the motor vehicle other than a driver, when the motor vehicle is not operated in an autonomous driving mode. If the condition is satisfied then a display of all content by the head-worn display device is stopped by the control device if the display device is virtual reality glasses and the display of exclusively traffic-relevant content by the display device is enabled by the control device if the display device is augmented reality glasses.

  • 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: 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: 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.
