1. A method for visualizing optical information in a field of vision of a driver of a vehicle (1), the field of vision being in front of the vehicle relative to a forward driving direction of the vehicle (1), the method comprising:
superimposing a display (5) as a virtual image on a real traffic environment, the display (5) being superimposed within a display range (8) that has a horizontal spread extending in a transverse direction of the vehicle (1) relative to the forward travel direction of the vehicle (1) and a vertical spread extending transverse to both the horizontal spread and the forward direction of travel of the vehicle (1);
determining at least one of a vehicle speed, a steering angle, and a road type;
dynamically varying a position of the display (5) within the display range (8) as a function of at least one of the vehicle speed, the steering angle, and the road type; and
changing at least one of the horizontal spread and the vertical spread of the display range (8) of the display (5) between a first maximum value (9) and a second maximum value (10) within which the display (5) can be displayed based on at least one of the vehicle speed, the steering angle, and the road type.
