Apparatus for displaying vehicle information in augmented reality

An information display device comprising:

• a processor configured to display a display object in augmented reality;
• and
• a storage configured to store data and algorithms driven by the processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to determine a position of the display object by use of at least one of a total number of lanes or a number of lanes in a road in a driving direction of a host vehicle, possible traveling direction information for each lane, and driving direction information related to the host vehicle, and
• wherein the information display apparatus is disposed within the host vehicle or outside the host vehicle, and when disposed outside the host vehicle, is configured to transmit display information related to the display object to the host vehicle or a mobile device,
• wherein the processor is configured to determine a moving distance according to the total number of lanes in a case of a road, in which there is no distinction between directions of going up and down on a map, and
• wherein the processor is configured to determine the moving distance by use of at least one of the total number of lanes in the driving direction, the number of lanes in the driving direction, and a number of lanes in a direction opposite to the driving direction, and is configured to determine the position of the display object by moving a reference position on the map by the moving distance in a case of the road in which there is the distinction between the directions of going up and down on the map.
