Abstract

A first sensor device detects a viewing direction of a user, who is located in an interior of the motor vehicle, onto a display surface of a motor vehicle. A control unit of the motor vehicle determines a display parameter of a digital image subject to the detected viewing direction, specifying an absolute pictorial configuration of the digital image. The determination of the display parameter is based on the viewing direction of the user onto the absolutely pictorial configuration of the digital image, such that a relative, perspective-related configuration of the digital image is obtained so that the relative, perspective-related configuration corresponds to a target configuration of the digital image. The control unit generates the digital image as a function of the determined display parameter and the digital image is then displayed on the display surface.
