Abstract

A method performed by a vehicle feature evaluation system (1) for enabling evaluation of a simulated vehicle-related feature. The vehicle feature evaluation system determines (1001) in relation to a road-driven vehicle (2), with support from a tracking system (5), an orientation of a head-mounted display (4), HMD, adapted to be worn by an occupant (3) on-board the road-driven vehicle. The vehicle feature evaluation system further determines (1002) a simulated vehicle design feature to be evaluated in the road-driven vehicle. Moreover, the vehicle feature evaluation system provides (1006) in real-time to a HMD display (41) of the HMD, taking into consideration the HMD orientation, a virtual representation (7) of the simulated vehicle design feature superimposed on a real-time surrounding-showing video stream (6) derived from real-world image data (211) captured with support from one or more vehicle-attached cameras (21) adapted to capture surroundings external of the road-driven vehicle.
