Display control device

A display control device mounted in a vehicle, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform processes of:
• controlling an irradiating unit that irradiates a road surface with reference light;
• and
• controlling a projecting unit that projects an image onto a reflecting unit that reflects the image,
• wherein the processor instructs the irradiating unit to perform irradiation with the reference light, the irradiation corresponding to set irradiation distance information,
• the processor instructs the projecting unit to perform projection of an image in such a way that a virtual image corresponding to the irradiation distance information is visually recognized by an occupant of the vehicle, and also controls either a projection position or a projection size of the image projected by the projecting unit on a basis of an instruction of the occupant,
• the processor instructs the irradiating unit to perform irradiation with multiple reference light beams having different irradiation distances, and also instructs the irradiating unit to perform irradiation with one of the reference light beams which is selected on a basis of the occupant's instruction to select one reference light beam from the multiple reference light beams, and
• the processor instructs the projecting unit to perform the projection of the image in such a way that the virtual image corresponding to the irradiation distance of the selected one of the reference light beams is visually recognized by the occupant.

• the processes further comprises storing either the image projection position or the image projection size in a storage unit on a basis of the occupant's instruction to decide either the image projection position or the image projection size,
• the processor stores either the image projection position or the image projection size which is adjusted in accordance with the reference light at a single irradiation distance or each of multiple different irradiation distances in the storage unit, and
• the processor acquires either the image projection position or the image projection size at a position apart by a freely selected distance from the vehicle, on a basis of either the image projection position or the image projection size stored in the storage unit.

• the processor instructs the projecting unit to perform projection of both an image for right eye and an image for left eye in such a way that both a virtual image for right eye and a virtual image for left eye which correspond to the irradiation distance information are visually recognized by the occupant.
