Method for operating an occupant protection system of a vehicle , in which there is detected whether a vehicle occupant has donned electronic smart glasses , wherein the occupant protection system is operated in dependence on whether the vehicle occupant has donned electronic smart glasses , wherein a the occupant protection system has an airbag and at least one parameter that determines trigger behaviour of the airbag is adjusted in comparison with a standard setting when the vehicle occupant has donned electronic smart glasses , wherein a1 where electronic smart glasses are detected, a relative arrangement of the electronic smart glasses to the airbag is ascertained and dependence thereon at least one parameter that determines trigger behaviour of the airbag is adjusted in comparison with a standard setting; a2 and/or where electronic smart glasses are detected, dimensions of the electronic smart glasses are ascertained and dependence thereon at least one parameter that determines trigger behaviour of the airbag is adjusted in comparison with a standard setting; a3 and/or the airbag is deactivated, so long as it is detected that the vehicle occupant has donned the electronic smart glasses ; b and/or the occupant protection system comprises an output device, by means of which, where electronic smart glasses are detected, the vehicle occupant is visually and/or acoustically informed as to how far he should alter a position of a vehicle seat on which he is sitting in order to minimise the risk of injury in the event the vehicle crashes. a the occupant protection system has an airbag and at least one parameter that determines trigger behaviour of the airbag is adjusted in comparison with a standard setting when the vehicle occupant has donned electronic smart glasses , wherein a1 where electronic smart glasses are detected, a relative arrangement of the electronic smart glasses to the airbag is ascertained and dependence thereon at least one parameter that determines trigger behaviour of the airbag is adjusted in comparison with a standard setting; a2 and/or where electronic smart glasses are detected, dimensions of the electronic smart glasses are ascertained and dependence thereon at least one parameter that determines trigger behaviour of the airbag is adjusted in comparison with a standard setting; a3 and/or the airbag is deactivated, so long as it is detected that the vehicle occupant has donned the electronic smart glasses ; a1 where electronic smart glasses are detected, a relative arrangement of the electronic smart glasses to the airbag is ascertained and dependence thereon at least one parameter that determines trigger behaviour of the airbag is adjusted in comparison with a standard setting; a2 and/or where electronic smart glasses are detected, dimensions of the electronic smart glasses are ascertained and dependence thereon at least one parameter that determines trigger behaviour of the airbag is adjusted in comparison with a standard setting; a3 and/or the airbag is deactivated, so long as it is detected that the vehicle occupant has donned the electronic smart glasses ; b and/or the occupant protection system comprises an output device, by means of which, where electronic smart glasses are detected, the vehicle occupant is visually and/or acoustically informed as to how far he should alter a position of a vehicle seat on which he is sitting in order to minimise the risk of injury in the event the vehicle crashes. <EOS>
