  • Patent number: 11024081
    Abstract: A predefined virtual theme defines a specific virtual way of movement within a virtual environment. A route is selected which best matches the predefined virtual theme Movements of the motor vehicle are detected during a journey along the selected route. The virtual reality glasses are controlled so that a vehicle occupant wearing the virtual reality glasses moves virtually within the virtual environment according to the detected movements of the motor vehicle and according to the predefined virtual way of movement of the predefined virtual theme.
