Abstract

The present invention generally relates to a method, a system and/or a computer readable program. An embodiment of the method includes acquiring an input signal indicative of the operator's expectation of the state of the object at a first point in time; determining a state of the object at a second later point in time based on the input signal; acquiring an input signal indicative of an estimated visual input of the operator at the second point in time; determining the operator's expectation of the state at the second point in time, based on the operator's expectation of the state of the object at the first point in time, and the estimated visual input and the state of the object at the second point in time; and providing an output signal indicative of the operator's expectation of the state at the second point in time.
