  • Patent number: 8103410
    Abstract: A steering detecting section (11) detects steering angle in the steering operation of a vehicle driver performed for a steering (10) and a control section (12) controls rotational movement of a visual information display (13) based on the detected steering angle. A rotational angle is set while the value for steering angle in the right direction being differentiated from the value for steering angle in the left direction with regard to the same steering angle in the right and left different directions, thus guiding the vehicle driver to correct the difference between the right and left steering speeds in the steering operation.

  • Patent number: 7815313
    Abstract: A control unit presents a visual stimulus onto a film adhered on an inner surface of a windscreen glass of a vehicle, and controls the visual stimulus so as to allow a driver to perceive the visual stimulus approaching the driver or receding therefrom in response to detection results of a driving environment detection unit, a vehicle status detection unit and a driver status detection unit. In such a way, visually induced vection can be produced for the driver by the visual stimulus. Accordingly, a drive sense of the driver can be adjusted in response to a vehicle state quantity, a driving environment and a driver state.
