1. A vehicle sightline guidance apparatus comprising:

  • a display member that displays an image on either one of a see-through front windshield and a see-through screen that allow a vehicle occupant who has boarded a vehicle to visually recognize outside of the vehicle;

    a scenery-information acquiring unit that acquires scenery information about scenery visually recognized by the vehicle occupant from inside the vehicle; and

    a perspective-position specifying unit that specifies a perspective position based on the scenery information, the perspective position being either one of a perspective position on either one of the front windshield and the screen that a sightline passes when the vehicle occupant visually recognizes a predicted path on which the vehicle is predicted to travel and a perspective position where a left edge and a right edge of the predicted path of the vehicle are projected,wherein based on the perspective position, the display member displays a pair of driving reference marks side-by-side on either one of the front windshield and the screen such that the pair of driving reference marks are separated from each other by a distance equivalent to a vehicle width of the vehicle or larger and appear to be aligned with the left edge and the right edge of the predicted path of the vehicle.
