  • Patent number: 10696159
    Abstract: An information providing apparatus includes one or more processors; and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processors, cause the processors to acquire, by a display unit, information on a predetermined position outside a moving body to display an information providing image for providing information associated with the predetermined position as a virtual image; and control the display unit to change a display position of the information providing image according to movement of the moving body. The display position of the information providing image is changed such that a deviation amount between the predetermined position and a position at which a straight line passing through a reference point within the moving body and the display position of the information providing image reaches a surface on which the moving body is moving decreases as a distance between the moving body and the predetermined position decreases.
