Abstract: A plurality of virtual individual sequences that can be reproduced by use of a display device in a motor vehicle are provided. At least some of the provided individual sequences are reproduced by use of the display device while traveling a route with the motor vehicle. A selection and determination of a reproduction order of the individual sequences are effected so as to match a characteristic of the route and such that the individual sequences connect a specified entry sequence and end sequence to form a coherent experience.

Abstract: A method operates virtual reality spectacles involves displaying a virtual object, arranged in virtual surroundings, by the virtual reality spectacles from a first observation position that is prescribed within the virtual surroundings. A position symbol is displayed at a position within the virtual surroundings that corresponds to a second observation position prescribed within the virtual surroundings. The displayed position symbol is selected as soon as a predetermined selection action has been sensed. The virtual object is displayed from the second observation position as soon as a predetermined confirmation action for the selected position symbol has been sensed.

Abstract: In a motor vehicle, having at least one display device, a gaze direction of a vehicle occupant of the motor vehicle is detected and used to check whether the vehicle occupant has directed his gaze to a display region of the display device for at least a predefined gazing duration. If the gaze has been directed to the display region of the display device for at least the predefined gazing duration, an interaction mode of an operating device for controlling the display device is activated After the interaction mode has been activated, at least one predetermined criterion is used to determine whether control of the display device has been concluded. The interaction mode is maintained as long as it has been determined that the control of the display device has not been concluded or at least one other predetermined criterion has not yet been satisfied.

Abstract: An onboard computer, included in a display device, has a sensing unit that is designed to sense the presence of at least one occupant in the motor vehicle. A control unit, also included in the display device, is coupled to the sensing unit and is designed to retrieve data from the sensing unit and also vehicle-related and surroundings-related data from the onboard computer that are suitable for characterizing a past travel behavior and/or influencing a future travel behavior. Also included in the display device is a display unit controllable by the control unit and designed to display the vehicle-related data retrieved by the control unit which is designed to control the display unit such that it displays the vehicle-related and surroundings-related data at least in part until the sensing unit senses that there is at least no longer a driver in the motor vehicle, to conveniently display a piece of information particularly for a stationary motor vehicle.

Abstract: A method operates a seat belt system in a motor vehicle. The method uses a 3-D imaging system to determine when a tongue of the seat belt system is approaching a buckle of the seat belt system. A buckle presenter extends the buckle from a seat of the motor vehicle, toward an occupant of the motor vehicle when the 3-D imaging system determines that the tongue is approaching the buckle.

Abstract: During a journey using a motor vehicle, a virtual environment is displayed by use of a display device and additionally a virtual representation of a route layout located in front of the motor vehicle is also displayed by use of the display device within the virtual environment. The display device may be used in the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A method operates a mobile virtual reality system in a motor vehicle. The method involves providing a configuration of a virtual motor vehicle, detecting a position of a pair of virtual reality glasses arranged in the motor vehicle, in particular a pair of virtual reality glasses that a user has put on, and operating the virtual reality glasses such that they display the configured virtual motor vehicle from a virtual viewing position that corresponds to the detected position of the virtual reality glasses in the motor vehicle. A mobile virtual reality system includes the pair of virtual reality glasses.

Abstract: A position and a head alignment of a person who is wearing virtual reality glasses is detected by a detection device within a detection area of the detection device. A virtual object arranged in a virtual environment is displayed using virtual reality glasses, from a virtual perspective set in accordance with the detected position and head alignment. Based on the detected position, whether the person is located less than a predefined distance from a boundary of the detection area is determined. If it is determined that the person is less than the predefined distance from the boundary, an effect indicating the person is less than the predefined distance from the boundary is displayed, using the virtual reality glasses. The type of depiction of the effect is set depending on the head alignment that has been determined.

Abstract: A display device uses a display panel to display a graphical object representing a function to initiate on a device for selection by a user. An eye tracker generates a line-of-vision signal that is dependent on a line of vision of the user. A sensor device ascertains, in a predetermined holding region by which the user holds the operator control apparatus with at least one hand, a holding pressure of the at least one hand and generates a pressure signal that is dependent on the holding pressure. A control device uses the line-of-vision signal to check whether the user looks at the object, in which case the selected function is initiated if the pressure signal satisfies a predetermined initiation criterion.
