Display method and display device for providing surrounding information based on driving condition

A data generation device that operates in conjunction with a mobile object, the data generation device comprising:

• a processor that:
• generates first surrounding information and second surrounding information, the first surrounding information being information which indicates a surrounding condition of the mobile object and is generated using two-dimensional information, the second surrounding information being information which indicates the surrounding condition of the mobile object and is generated using three-dimensional data;
• determines which one of first surrounding information and second surrounding information is to be used, based on a driving condition of the mobile object;
• and
• using the one of the first surrounding information and the second surrounding information, wherein
• the driving condition is whether the mobile object is under autonomous travel or under manual driving, and
• the three-dimensional data is data obtained by extracting, from three dimensional point cloud data, only a point cloud having a feature amount of visible light information greater than or equal to a threshold for each predetermined data unit.
