Abstract
An information display apparatus, which displays a road and a plurality of buildings along the road three-dimensionally on a display screen installed in a vehicle, includes: an output-level acquiring unit that acquires a current output level of an audio device installed in the vehicle; and an output-level displaying unit that displays the current output level of the audio device on one of the buildings that is displayed as if being farthest from a user in front of the display screen.
Claims21
An information display apparatus that displays a road and a plurality of buildings along the road three-dimensionally on a display screen installed in a vehicle, wherein the buildings are displayed as if moving toward a user in front of the display screen at a speed corresponding to an actual speed of the vehicle, the information display apparatus comprising:
- an output-level acquiring unit that acquires a current output level of an audio device installed in the vehicle;
- and
- an output-level displaying unit that displays the current output level of the audio device on one of the buildings that is displayed as if being farthest from the user.
An information display apparatus that displays a road three-dimensionally on a display screen installed in a vehicle, the information display apparatus comprising:
- a direction determining unit that determines a direction of a destination from a current position of the vehicle based on latitudes and longitudes of the destination and the current position;
- and
- a direction displaying unit that displays the direction on the display screen.
An information display apparatus that displays information on a display screen installed in a vehicle, the information display apparatus comprising:
- a first-gravity displaying unit that displays a first gravity that is currently applied to the vehicle on the display screen;
- and
- a second-gravity displaying unit that displays, when the vehicle has traveled a predetermined distance since the first gravity was displayed, a second gravity that is currently applied to the vehicle on the display screen.
A method of displaying a road and a plurality of buildings along the road three-dimensionally on a display screen installed in a vehicle, wherein the buildings are displayed as if moving toward a user in front of the display screen at a speed corresponding to an actual speed of the vehicle, the method comprising:
- acquiring a current output level of an audio device installed in the vehicle;
- and
- displaying the current output level of the audio device on one of the buildings that is displayed as if being farthest from the user.
A method of displaying a road three-dimensionally on a display screen installed in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a direction of a destination from a current position of the vehicle based on latitudes and longitudes of the destination and the current position;
- and
- displaying the direction on the display screen.
A method of displaying information on a display screen installed in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- displaying a first gravity that is currently applied to the vehicle on the display screen;
- and
- displaying, when the vehicle has traveled a predetermined distance since the first gravity was displayed, a second gravity that is currently applied to the vehicle on the display screen.
A computer-readable recording medium that stores a computer program for displaying a road and a plurality of buildings along the road three-dimensionally on a display screen installed in a vehicle, wherein the buildings are displayed as if moving toward a user in front of the display screen at a speed corresponding to an actual speed of the vehicle, and the computer program causes a computer to execute:
- acquiring a current output level of an audio device installed in the vehicle;
- and
- displaying the current output level of the audio device on one of the buildings that is displayed as if being farthest from the user.
A computer-readable recording medium that stores a computer program for displaying a road three-dimensionally on a display screen installed in a vehicle, wherein the computer program causes a computer to execute:
- determining a direction of a destination from a current position of the vehicle based on latitudes and longitudes of the destination and the current position;
- and
- displaying the direction on the display screen.
A computer-readable recording medium that stores a computer program for displaying information on a display screen installed in a vehicle, the computer program causes a computer to execute:
- displaying a first gravity that is currently applied to the vehicle on the display screen;
- and
- displaying, when the vehicle has traveled a predetermined distance since the first gravity was displayed, a second gravity that is currently applied to the vehicle on the display screen.
