Abstract: A synthetic-image formation unit forms a vehicle-inside view point image showing a periphery of a vehicle in such a way as to transparently pass through a portion or an entirety of the vehicle and taken from a vehicle-inside view point inside a vehicle room. The synthetic-image formation unit further forms an interior-added image including an image of an interior member viewed from the vehicle-inside view point using pre-stored data for drawing an image of the interior member. A display control unit temporarily displays the interior-added image and displays animation which gradually raises a transparency of the image of the interior member, before displaying the vehicle-inside view point image, when changing over a display screen of the display to the vehicle-inside view point image in response to a user's manipulation on the vehicle.
