Apparatus for displaying at least one virtual lane line based on environmental condition and method of controlling same

A computer readable recording medium storing data for displaying at least one virtual lane line based on an environmental condition, wherein the computer readable recording medium is configured to:

• process data for an actual lane line of a vehicle traveling direction recognized using at least one sensor;
• process data for determining whether a head-up display (HUD) has been installed in a vehicle;
• upon determining that the HUD has been installed in the vehicle, process data for displaying a first virtual lane line corresponding to the recognized actual lane line through the HUD and displaying a second virtual lane line corresponding to the recognized actual lane line on a road surface through a headlamp;
• and
• upon determining that the HUD has not been installed in the vehicle, process data for displaying only a third virtual lane line corresponding to the recognized actual lane line through the headlamp.

An apparatus for displaying at least one virtual lane line based on to an environmental condition, the apparatus comprising:

• a sensor configured to recognize an actual lane line of a vehicle traveling direction;
• and
• a controller configured to determine whether a head-up display (HUD) has been installed in a vehicle,
• wherein the controller performs, upon determining that the HUD has been installed in the vehicle, a control operation to display a first virtual lane line corresponding to the recognized actual lane line through the HUD and display a second virtual lane line corresponding to the recognized actual lane line on a road surface through a headlamp, and
• the controller performs, upon determining that the HUD has not been installed in the vehicle, a control operation to display only a third virtual lane line corresponding to the recognized actual lane line through the headlamp.
