Abstract

A device for projecting an object in a space of a vehicle is described. This object is preferably projected holographically, and a voice input and output system is assigned to this object. An artificial passenger is thus created for a driver.

Claims

1-7. -7. (canceled)

8. A device for projecting an object (2) in a space of a vehicle (1).

9. The device according to claim 8, wherein the device is assigned a voice input and output (302, 303).

10. The device according to claim 8, wherein the device is configured for holographic projection of the figure (2).

11. The device according to claim 9, wherein the device is configured for holographic projection of the figure (2).

12. The device according to claim 8, wherein the device is configured in such a way that the device allows a driver (3) to select the figure (2) to be projected.

13. The device according to claim 9, wherein the device is configured in such a way that the device allows a driver (3) to select the figure (2) to be projected.

14. The device according to claim 10, wherein the device is configured in such a way that the device allows a driver (3) to select the figure (2) to be projected.

15. The device according to claim 9, wherein the device is connectable to a sensor system (305, 306) for monitoring the driver (3) or the vehicle (1), the device being configured in such a way that the device influences the projection of the figure (2) and the voice output as a function of a first signal of the sensor system (305, 306).

16. The device according to claim 10, wherein the device is connectable to a sensor system (305, 306) for monitoring the driver (3) or the vehicle (1), the device being configured in such a way that the device influences the projection of the figure (2) and the voice output as a function of a first signal of the sensor system (305, 306).

17. The device according to claim 12, wherein the device is connectable to a sensor system (305, 306) for monitoring the driver (3) or the vehicle (1), the device being configured in such a way that the device influences the projection of the figure (2) and the voice output as a function of a first signal of the sensor system (305, 306).

18. The device according to claim 8, wherein the device projects the figure (2) as a function of a signal from a seat occupancy recognition system (208).

19. The device according to claim 9, wherein the device projects the figure (2) as a function of a signal from a seat occupancy recognition system (208).

20. The device according to claim 10, wherein the device projects the figure (2) as a function of a signal from a seat occupancy recognition system (208).

21. The device according to claim 12, wherein the device projects the figure (2) as a function of a signal from a seat occupancy recognition system (208).

22. The device according to claim 15, wherein the device projects the figure (2) as a function of a second signal from a seat occupancy recognition system (208).

23. The device according to claim 8, wherein the device is connected to a communication means (207, 307, 308) in such a way that the device influences the projection of the figure (2) as a function of a third signal from the communication means (207, 307, 308).

24. The device according to claim 9, wherein the device projects the figure (2) as a function of a second signal from a seat occupancy recognition system (208).

25. The device according to claim 10, wherein the device projects the figure (2) as a function of a second signal from a seat occupancy recognition system (208).

26. The device according to claim 12, wherein the device projects the figure (2) as a function of a second signal from a seat occupancy recognition system (208).
