A device for the improved visualization of a first notice icon and a second notice icon in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a network interface, connected with a vehicle-internal transmission network, the network interface being configured for receiving notice data with information about the first notice icon and the second notice icon and vehicle data with information about a vehicle state;
- a processor for determining an output configuration for the first notice icon and the second notice icon based on the notice data and the vehicle data, and for generating a control command to control an augmented reality (AR) display based on the output configuration;
- wherein the first notice icon represents safety-relevant information pertaining to a preceding vehicle and the second notice icon represents non-safety relevant vehicle guidance information;
- and wherein the control command provides a dynamic, modified output of the notice icons in order to increase visibility of the first notice icon over the second notice icon.
