Claim 0:
1. A method for visualizing sensor data from the surroundings of a vehicle or measuring data from the vehicle, wherein the sensor data is visualized using light modules in an interior of the vehicle, the method comprising:
detecting the sensor data, wherein the detected sensor data includes as-video data from a camera of the vehicle and additional sensor data or measuring data from at least one additional sensor, wherein the at least one additional sensor detects settings inside of an interior of the vehicle, is a sensor of a driver assistance system of the vehicle other than the camera, or is a sensor of a telematics system of the vehicle;
analyzing the video data to identify recognizable structures;
transferring the recognizable structures to a video sequence with a format for the light modules in the interior of the vehicle or recalculating sensor data not detected as video data or measuring data into a video sequence using an algorithm;
requesting, from a storage in the vehicle and based on the additional sensor data or the measuring data from the at least one additional sensor, pre-stored video sequences; and
superimposing the video sequence with the pre-stored video sequences and displaying the video sequence superimposed with the pre-stored video sequences using the light modules.
