  • projecting the video data directly on a retina of the user via a virtual retinal display device;

    determining, during the projecting, data about lines of sight of the user relative to the viewed video data by determining current eye positions of the user by means of an eye position detection module of the virtual retinal display device;

    transmitting the viewing data to the central unit, the viewing data including at least the data about lines of sight relative to the viewed video data; and

    determining, by the central unit based on the viewing data, picture regions of a single picture, which is part of the viewed video data; and

    determining, by the central unit, a correlation of the lines of sight with picture objects contained in the video data, based on the data about lines of sight of the user relative to the viewed video data, and based on stored pictorial content descriptions including object designations and locations.
