Display control device, display control method, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program
A display control device installed in a vehicle and forming an AR image corresponding to a display target object at a position in front of the vehicle in a hypothetical display area set in front of the vehicle. The display control device causes the AR image to disappear from the hypothetical display area while being faded out when a first specific condition has been satisfied after the AR image was formed.
1 . A display control device installed at a vehicle, comprising:
a memory, and
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor is configured to:
form an AR image corresponding to a display target object at a position in front of the vehicle in a hypothetical display area set in front of the vehicle; and
cause the AR image to disappear from the hypothetical display area while being faded out in a case in which a first specific condition has been satisfied after the AR image was formed,
wherein the processor is configured to:
form a plurality of different types of AR images in the hypothetical display area at a same time; and
cause only an AR image of a particular type to disappear from the hypothetical display area while employing the fading out.
2 . The display control device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to form the AR image in the hypothetical display area while being faded in, in a case in which a second specific condition has been satisfied.
3 . The display control device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to change a mode of the fading out, according to the type of the AR image.
4 . The display control device of claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to:
form only an AR image of a particular type in the hypothetical display area while employing the fading in.
5 . The display control device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to change a mode of the fading in, according to the type of the AR image.
6 . The display control device of claim 1 , wherein the first specific condition is satisfied in a case in which a first time period has elapsed from a time when the AR image was formed in the hypothetical display area.
7 . The display control device of claim 1 , wherein the first specific condition is satisfied in a case in which it is determined that a driver of the vehicle has seen the AR image based on imaging data acquired by an in-car camera provided to the vehicle.
8 . A display control method comprising:
forming an AR image corresponding to a display target object at a position in front of the vehicle in a hypothetical display area set in front of the vehicle;
causing the AR image to disappear from the hypothetical display area while being faded out when a first specific condition has been satisfied after the AR image was formed;
forming a plurality of different types of AR images in the hypothetical display area at a same time; and
causing only an AR image of a particular type to disappear from the hypothetical display area while employing the fading out.
9 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute processing, the processing comprising:
forming an AR image corresponding to a display target object at a position in front of a vehicle in a hypothetical display area set in front of the vehicle;
causing the AR image to disappear from the hypothetical display area while being faded out when a first specific condition has been satisfied after the AR image was formed;
forming a plurality of different types of AR images in the hypothetical display area at a same time; and
causing only an AR image of a particular type to disappear from the hypothetical display area while employing the fading out.
