US 2019/0196184 A1 · DISPLAY SYSTEM

Abstract

In a display system, a HUD displays a virtual marker D indicating a vehicle shape which guides a traveling direction of a user's vehicle. The display system measures an inter-vehicle distance between the user's vehicle and a forward vehicle and determines a display position and a display size of the virtual marker in accordance with the inter-vehicle distance. The virtual marker is shifted to a near side of the user's vehicle when the inter-vehicle distance is small, whereas the virtual marker is shifted to a far side of the user's vehicle when the inter-vehicle distance is large. A portion of the virtual marker is brought into a non-display state as if the portion is absorbed into the user's vehicle when the inter-vehicle distance is reduced, and the virtual marker is not displayed when the distance is further reduced.
