Abstract

A visualization device includes a camera for continuously detecting the surroundings and, when the camera is oriented towards the interior or the exterior shell of a real vehicle, generating a real vehicle image which can change depending on the camera orientation. A data storage unit stores at least one component data set. The data set contains data, on the basis of which the visual representation of at least one vehicle component is possible. A computing device is programmed to integrate the representation of the vehicle component into the real vehicle image while taking into consideration the scale and perspective and to generate a virtual vehicle image that represents the real vehicle together with the virtually installed vehicle component. A display device displays the virtual vehicle image. A method for visualizing the interior or exterior of a vehicle is also provided.
