The method even further comprises the step of presenting (570) a second video image showing a second section of the environment of the vehicle to the observer. The second section is a subset of the first section. The second section of the environment corresponds to the detected orientation of the head of the observer. The first section of the environment is a proper subset of the environment which can be seen by the plurality of cameras. The detecting and presenting is repeated after a predetermined time-period short enough not to cause nausea for the observer.
