Abstract
A head-up display system includes: an object generation unit configured to generate an object for supporting driving and adjust a display state of the object in such a manner as to adapt to a place at which driving support is required based on information on the place; and a display control unit configured to display the object on a windshield in such a manner that the object is superimposed on a real space visible across the windshield.
Claims10
A head-up display system comprising:
- a processor for executing programs stored in memory, wherein:
- execution of the programs realizes an object generation unit and a display control unit;
- the object generation unit configured to
- generate an arrow-shaped figure as an object for supporting driving;
- adjust at least one of a degree of blur of the arrow-shaped figure or a thickness of the arrow-shaped figure in such a manner as to adapt to a place at which driving support is required based on information on the place;
- transform the object based on a direction of a second running axis that is assumed at the place when a first running axis extending along a running direction of a vehicle is different from the second running axis;
- generate an arrow-shaped figure as the object;
- transform the arrow-shaped figure when a distance between a position of the vehicle and an intersection is equal to or less than a predetermined distance, guidance on a right or left turn as driving support being required at the intersection;
- and
- blur a contour of a leading end side of the arrow-shaped figure more than a contour of a terminal end side of the arrow-shaped figure when a downhill slope exists between the position of the vehicle and the intersection, and
- the display control unit configured to display the object on a windshield in such a manner that the object is superimposed on a real space visible across the windshield.
