Claim 16:
17. An article of manufacture for use by a vehicle, the article comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by one or more processors of the vehicle to:
detect a position of an object relative to a vehicle;
generate a spatially expanded animation graphic for a projection surface of the AR overlay upon approach to the detected position of the object, wherein the animation graphic comprises a grid comprising numerous grid elements projected from a vehicle location to the detected object, and graphic contact information representing a risk potential relative to the object; and
calculate a spatial expansion for the animation graphic to visually depict at least one of a kinematic and/or a dynamic movement of the spatial expansion in the animation graphic, and
process the generated spatially expanded animation graphic using the calculated spatial expansion to represent the kinematic and/or the dynamic movement of the spatial expansion, and the graphic contact information representing the risk potential, as an approaching and/or receding wave.
