  • Patent number: 10593126
    Abstract: A virtual space display system for a self-driving moving body displays a virtual space different from a real environment such that a passenger on the moving body can enjoy the virtual space without feeling strange for a motion. The system includes a display device, a surrounding situation detector, and a virtual space display unit. The surrounding situation detector obtains information specifying features that influence a path along which the moving body is to move, and specifies such an important feature among features located in the surrounding of the moving body that presence/absence of the important feature has an influence on the path of the moving body. The virtual space display unit converts the important feature into an object that is fit for the influence on the path of the moving body based on a predetermined rule, and causes the display device to display the virtual space including the converted object.
