Display device in moving body for displaying superimposed virtual image and display control method
Display device included in a moving body includes road information acquisition unit that acquires road information about a road in a traveling direction of the moving body and display controller that displays a virtual image illustrating at least one graphic as seen from the moving body on a display medium while superimposing the virtual image on a real space in the traveling direction when the at least one graphic is assumed to be disposed at a predetermined position in the traveling direction. Display controller updates a mode of the at least one graphic using the road information acquired by the road information acquisition unit, and displays the virtual image illustrating the updated at least one graphic on the display medium.
1. A display device included in a moving body, the display device comprising:
a processor; and
a memory including at least one set of instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations including:
acquiring one or more road information items about a road in a foreground of the moving body;
causing a head-up-display to display a virtual image illustrating a plurality of graphics as seen from the moving body on a display medium such that a driver of the moving body visually recognizes the virtual image superimposed on a real space in a traveling direction of the moving body when the plurality of graphics are disposed at a predetermined position in the traveling direction;
updating a mode of the plurality of graphics using the one or more acquired road information items, and causing the head-up-display to display virtual image illustrating the plurality of graphics updated on the display medium; and
acquiring a turning angle that is an angle formed between the traveling direction and an extending direction of a road at a disposition position that is a virtual position where the plurality of graphics are to be disposed as one of the one or more road information items, wherein
the processor sets a length of at least one of the plurality of graphics when the turning angle is 0°, and decreases the length of the at least one of the plurality of graphics when the turning angle is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 90°.
2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein when the turning angle is less than or equal to 90°, the processor increases the spacing in the extending direction of the adjacent graphics in the plurality of graphics as the turning angle decreases.
3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein when the turning angle is less than or equal to 90°, the processor decreases a spacing in the extending direction of adjacent graphics in the plurality of graphics as the turning angle increases.
