  • Publication number: 20260301412
    Abstract: A vehicle information presentation apparatus includes: an imaging device capturing an interior of a vehicle and outputting an in-vehicle image; and a microprocessor. The microprocessor performs: individually detecting an occupant inside the vehicle from the in-vehicle image; individually detecting an object present in the vehicle from the in-vehicle image; when it is detected from the in-vehicle image that the object has been moved by the occupant based on a detection result of the occupant and a detection result of the object, combining occupant information identifying the occupant who moved the object, object information identifying the object moved, and destination information identifying a destination position of the moved object and storing combined information in a memory, and presenting object position information, the object position information being information regarding a position of the object in the interior of the vehicle, to the occupant based on the combined information.
