Control device and method for controlling a display unit in a vehicle

A method for controlling a display unit arranged in a vehicle, the method comprising:

• receiving first data representing a surrounding of a vehicle;
• determining a driving trajectory of the vehicle using the first data;
• receiving second sensor data representing a head movement of an occupant of the vehicle;
• using a speed of the vehicle, determining a time-dependent relative movement between the head movement of the occupant and a vehicle movement according to the driving trajectory;
• determining a time-dependent change in a position of display information, which is to be displayed on a display unit arranged in the vehicle, such that the change in the position of the display information fully or partially compensates for the relative movement;
• and
• generating control instructions for controlling the display unit to display the display information according to the time-dependent change of the position.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to control a device to:

• receive first data representing a surrounding of a vehicle;
• determine a driving trajectory of the vehicle using the first data;
• receive second sensor data representing a head movement of an occupant of the vehicle;
• use a speed of the vehicle, determining a time-dependent relative movement between the head movement of the occupant and a vehicle movement according to the driving trajectory;
• determine a time-dependent change in a position of display information, which is to be displayed on a display unit arranged in the vehicle, such that the change in the position of the display information fully or partially compensates for the relative movement;
• and
• generate control instructions for controlling the display unit to display the display information according to the time-dependent change of the position.
