  • Publication number: 20210197666
    Abstract: A display controller converts a detection target region contained within a detection range of an obstruction sensor group and extending from a vehicle to the periphery thereof into a virtual marker image and causes a virtual image to be displayed by superimposing the image over a scene in front of the vehicle. When the relative position of an obstruction is within the detection target region, the display controller causes an arc-shaped ripple spreading in a direction based on the relative position of the obstruction to be displayed in a region, of the virtual marker image, located in a direction based on the relative position of the obstruction. The display controller converts the important information into a notification image and causes the notification image to be displayed in a display medium. The display controller changes the display format of at least one of the virtual marker image or the notification image.
