Abstract
A vehicle display device includes: a display unit that is disposed in a host vehicle and that displays an image; an imaging unit that captures an image of circumstances surrounding the host vehicle; and a controller configured to perform processing through which, by controlling the display unit, a virtual vehicle image representing a virtual vehicle imitating the host vehicle is displayed, and the image of the circumstances surrounding the host vehicle captured by the imaging unit is pasted for display as a reflected image representing reflection in the host vehicle onto an outer panel of the virtual vehicle represented by the virtual vehicle image.
Claims10
A vehicle display device comprising:
- a display unit disposed in a host vehicle and displaying an image;
- an imaging unit that captures exterior image of circumstances surrounding the host vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to perform processing through which, by controlling the display unit, a virtual vehicle image representing a body of the host vehicle is displayed, and the exterior image of the circumstances surrounding the host vehicle captured by the imaging unit is pasted for display within the virtual vehicle image such that the exterior image represents reflection of the circumstances surrounding the host vehicle onto the body of the host vehicle, wherein
- the virtual vehicle image includes
- a first virtual surface that represents virtually a first outer surface of the body of the host vehicle, and
- a second virtual surface that is different from the first virtual surface and represents virtually a second outer surface of the body of the host vehicle that is different from the first outer surface of the body of the host vehicle, and
- the controller is configured to paste a first exterior image, out of the exterior image, onto the first virtual surface and paste a second exterior image, out of the exterior image, onto the second virtual surface, and the second exterior image is different from the first exterior image.

A vehicle display comprising:
- a display unit disposed in a host vehicle and displaying an image;
- an imaging unit that captures an image of circumstances surrounding the host vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to perform processing through which, by controlling the display unit, a virtual vehicle image representing a body of the host vehicle is displayed, and the image of the circumstances surrounding the host vehicle captured by the imaging unit is pasted for display on the virtual vehicle image such that the image represents reflection of the circumstances surrounding the host vehicle onto the body of the host vehicle, wherein
- the controller controls the display unit to vary an orientation of the virtual vehicle image according to content in the image of the circumstances surrounding the host vehicle captured by the imaging unit.

A vehicle display device comprising:
- a display unit disposed in a host vehicle and displaying an image;
- a controller configured to,
- acquire an exterior image of circumstances surrounding the host vehicle, the exterior image being captured by an imaging unit, and
- perform processing through which, by controlling the display unit, a virtual vehicle image representing a body of the host vehicle is displayed, and the exterior image of the circumstances surrounding the host vehicle acquired by the controller is pasted for display within the virtual vehicle image such that the exterior image represents reflection of the circumstances surrounding the host vehicle onto the body of the host vehicle, wherein
- the virtual vehicle image includes
- a first virtual surface that represents virtually a first outer surface of the body of the host vehicle, and
- a second virtual surface that is different from the first virtual surface and represents virtually a second outer surface of the body of the host vehicle that is different from the first outer surface of the body of the host vehicle, and
- the controller is configured to paste a first exterior image, out of the exterior image, onto the first virtual surface and paste a second exterior image, out of the exterior image, onto the second virtual surface, and the second exterior image is different from the first exterior image.
