  • Publication number: 20250065807
    Abstract: A method for operating a display system for smartglasses in a motor vehicle includes ascertaining a spatial image representation of a rear vehicle environment with the aid of an environment capture device includes a camera system for providing a camera image representation and a 3D capture device for providing a distance profile; communicating at least one portion of the spatial image representation of the rear vehicle environment as object information to the smartglasses; and performing contact-analog presentation of display images on a display surface of the smartglasses in a presentation region at a vehicle-fixed position, which region corresponds to a vehicle mirror position, wherein the display images are created stereoscopically depending on the spatial image representation of the rear vehicle environment with the aid of a graphics engine implemented in the smartglasses in order to enable a spatial presentation of environment objects of the rear vehicle environment.

  • Publication number: 20250021286
    Abstract: A display system is operated with an assistance system tied to the vehicle and data glasses in a vehicle. It is monitored whether a presentation surface has been brought from a stowed position into a position of use in which the presentation surface faces the data glasses. The presentation surface is a dark or black unstructured surface. If it is recognized that the presentation surface has been brought into the position of use, start information from the assistance system is transmitted to the data glasses. Media information in the data glasses is automatically started and displayed depending on the start information.

  • Publication number: 20240302894
    Abstract: A method for operating smart glasses for the augmented presentation of information objects on a display surface on the basis of a smart glasses pose in a vehicle interior is provided. The smart glasses pose is ascertained by inside-out tracking on at least one marker provided fixedly in a vehicle interior or at least one object provided in the vehicle interior. The at least one marker or the at least one object can be located by a computer-assisted pattern recognition method which is applied to a camera image of a smart glasses camera so that the smart glasses pose relative to the vehicle interior can be determined on the basis of a position, size and/or orientation of the at least one marker or of the at least one object. Only the camera image outside of a masking region is taken into account for the pattern recognition method.
