Abstract: When a vehicle stops due to a red light, an image of a scene viewed from a virtual point of view, which moves along a virtual point-of-view moving route, in a virtual line-of-sight direction is displayed on a head-up display. Assuming that a next intersection at which to change lane according to a guidance route is the target intersection, a combination of the virtual point of view and virtual line-of-sight direction is gradually changed from a combination in which a scene is viewed from the point of view of the user in the forward direction of the vehicle to a combination for taking a bird's eye view of a geographic range that includes the current position of the vehicle and then to a combination for taking a bird's eye view of a geographic range that includes the target intersection from a point near the target intersection.

Abstract: A grip portion configured to support a test piece is disposed at a central part of a base, and a plurality of pillars are erected on the base. The disposition and number of the pillars are adjusted so that an X-ray emitted from an X-ray source and transmitting through the test piece transmits through zero or one pillar in an optional image capturing direction. It is possible to avoid a situation in which the attenuation rate of the X-ray largely differs due to difference in an image capturing direction to the test piece. Thus, it is possible to prevent a strong artifact from overlapping a CT image of the test piece in an X-ray CT image. Moreover, a material testing machine is supported by the plurality of pillars to have an accessible state around the test piece. This configuration facilitates handling of the material testing machine.
