  • an image generation section that generates a line image and an obstacle image concerning an obstacle around the subject vehicle; and

    an obstacle direction acquisition section that acquires a relative direction of the obstacle with reference to the subject vehicle,wherein;

    when the obstacle direction acquisition section acquires presence of the obstacle ahead of the subject vehicle, a line virtual image serving as the virtual image of the line image is shaped in concave in a first direction, the first direction being one of upward and downward;

    when the obstacle direction acquisition section acquires presence of the obstacle behind the subject vehicle, the line virtual image is shaped in concave in a second direction, the second direction being opposite to the first direction; and

    a position of an obstacle virtual image serving as the virtual image of the obstacle image depends on a relative direction of the obstacle with reference to the subject vehicle along a width direction of the subject vehicle acquired by the obstacle direction acquisition section.
