Abstract
Predefined route data for a driving route situated in front of the vehicle in the driving direction are provided. Further, at least one predefined predictive operating variable for the vehicle is provided. A three-dimensional model for a predefined environment of the vehicle is determined as a function of the route data. A graphic element is determined as a function of the three-dimensional model and of the at least one predictive operating variable. A head-up display of the vehicle has a predefined display field. The graphic element is displayed in the predefined display field. The graphic element is determined and displayed such that the graphic element is perceived by a viewer of the display field from a predefined viewing position with direct reference to the real environment of the vehicle.
