Augmented reality system for generating and displaying augmented reality object representations for a vehicle, having: an image sensor device (10; 10') designed to record image data from the surroundings of the vehicle; a data memory device having a first memory and a second memory, which data memory device is connected to the image sensor device (10; 10') and is designed such that the recorded image data are storable by the first memory and the second memory; an identification device, which is connected to the image sensor device (10; 10') and to the data memory device and designed such that it can identify objects (4; 114, 124; 214, 224) present in the recorded image data according to a prescribed first selection criterion and is furthermore designed such that image data pertaining to the identified objects (4; 114, 124; 214, 224) that are present, which image data are determined according to a prescribed second selection criterion, which comprises presents for the image resolution of the image data, are transferable by means of the identification device to the second memory for storage; an augmented reality device, which is connected to the data memory device and designed such that it can generate augmented reality object representations (112, 122, 154, 174; 212, 222, 254, 274) by combining the recorded image data with additional providable data (3; 154, 155, 175, 176; 255, 257, 275); and a selection device, which is connected to the augmented reality device and designed such that the augmented reality device is controllable by it to take a portion of the image data stored in the second memory, which portion is selected by the selection device according to a prescribed third selection criterion, as a basis for generating augmented reality object representations (112, 122, 154, 174; 212, 222, 254, 274) for display by means of a display device (6; 16; 66) connected to the augmented reality device. an image sensor device (10; 10') designed to record image data from the surroundings of the vehicle; a data memory device having a first memory and a second memory, which data memory device is connected to the image sensor device (10; 10') and is designed such that the recorded image data are storable by the first memory and the second memory; an identification device, which is connected to the image sensor device (10; 10') and to the data memory device and designed such that it can identify objects (4; 114, 124; 214, 224) present in the recorded image data according to a prescribed first selection criterion and is furthermore designed such that image data pertaining to the identified objects (4; 114, 124; 214, 224) that are present, which image data are determined according to a prescribed second selection criterion, which comprises presents for the image resolution of the image data, are transferable by means of the identification device to the second memory for storage; an augmented reality device, which is connected to the data memory device and designed such that it can generate augmented reality object representations (112, 122, 154, 174; 212, 222, 254, 274) by combining the recorded image data with additional providable data (3; 154, 155, 175, 176; 255, 257, 275); and a selection device, which is connected to the augmented reality device and designed such that the augmented reality device is controllable by it to take a portion of the image data stored in the second memory, which portion is selected by the selection device according to a prescribed third selection criterion, as a basis for generating augmented reality object representations (112, 122, 154, 174; 212, 222, 254, 274) for display by means of a display device (6; 16; 66) connected to the augmented reality device.
