The method comprises the step of providing (510) video images from a plurality The in that the images the of cameras. cameras are oriented such a way video show parts of environ- = — cs .,__- 500 ment the vehicle in the observer is transported. The field the are of which of views of cameras partly = overlapping. The method further comprises the steps of detecting (520) an orientation of the head of = 510 the observer and combining (530) the video images so that the combined video images provide a first = video image of a first section of the environment of the vehicle. The method even further comprises = 520 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 530 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 = 540 nausea for the observer. The present invention also relates to a system for facilitating transportation of L _ r _ I an observer in a vehicle, to a vehicle, to a computer program, and to a computer program product.
