Zusammenfassung:Specific determinations are made in a moving vehicle (901) and with respect to a person in the vehicle who has an ordinary expected gaze directionality while in the moving vehicle. These determinations can comprise automatically determining a position (101) of the moving vehicle with respect to terrain past which the moving vehicle is traveling, and automatically determining an orientation attitude (102) of the moving vehicle with respect to the terrain, and then automatically using (103) this position and orientation attitude to determine (in the absence of executable program instructions) a synthetic view to provide to the person in the vehicle. By one approach this synthetic view comprises a view of the terrain that comports with the ordinary expected gaze directionality of the person in the vehicle.
