Method, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium having instructions for controlling a display of an augmented reality display device for a transportation vehicle

A method for controlling a display of an augmented reality display device for a transportation vehicle, the method comprising:

• detecting a driving situation in which a warning is to be displayed to a driver of the transportation vehicle;
• generating virtual objects for display by the augmented reality display device, wherein the virtual objects have moving graphical elements which simulate movement of the virtual objects;
• and
• outputting the virtual objects for display by the augmented reality display device to enable visualization of possible imminent events, actions or hazardous situations via the augmented reality display device,
• wherein the virtual objects displayed on the augmented reality display device include representations of actual objects in an environment surrounding the vehicle, virtual objects that indicate an increased risk of objects depicted by the virtual objects actually being present in the environment surrounding the transportation vehicle, and virtual objects providing instruction for the driver to drive the transportation vehicle to position the transportation vehicle relative to locations within the environment surrounding the transportation vehicle so as to assist the driver to follow transportation vehicle navigation instructions issued by a navigation system of the transportation vehicle or parking maneuvering assistance instructions generated by the transportation vehicle.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute a method for controlling a display of an augmented reality display device for a transportation vehicle, the method comprising:

• detecting a driving situation in which a warning is to be displayed to a driver of the transportation vehicle;
• generating virtual objects for display by the augmented reality display device, wherein the virtual objects have moving graphical elements which simulate movement of the virtual objects;
• and
• outputting the virtual objects for display by the augmented reality display device to enable visualization of possible imminent events, actions or hazardous situations via the augmented reality display device,
• wherein the virtual objects displayed on the augmented reality display device include representations of actual objects in an environment surrounding the vehicle, virtual objects that indicate an increased risk of objects depicted by the virtual objects actually being present in the environment surrounding the transportation vehicle, and virtual objects providing instruction for the driver to drive the transportation vehicle to position the transportation vehicle relative to locations within the environment surrounding the transportation vehicle so as to assist the driver to follow transportation vehicle navigation instructions issued by a navigation system of the transportation vehicle or parking maneuvering assistance instructions generated by the transportation vehicle.
