A maneuver scheduler determines a target maneuver of the motor vehicle. An execution location of the target maneuver is determined. A graphics generator generates a target maneuver marking for a display by the augmented reality display device on the basis of the information. The target maneuver marking is outputted for display by the augmented reality display device. The target maneuver marking is displayed in such a way that the target maneuver marking is displayed in a stationary manner in the region of the execution location of the target maneuver perpendicularly on a lane to be travelled by the motor vehicle. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for controlling a display on an augmented reality display device for a motor vehicle, comprising: determining, via a maneuver planner of a computer device, a target maneuver for the motor vehicle;
