VEHICLE SIGHTLINE GUIDANCE APPARATUS
First Claim
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.

A vehicle sightline guidance apparatus includes a display member displaying an image on either one one a see-through windshield and screen that allow a vehicle occupant to visually recognize outside of a vehicle; a scenery-information acquiring unit acquiring scenery information visually recognized by the occupant from inside the vehicle; and a perspective-position specifying unit specifying a perspective position, which is a position on the windshield or screen that a sightline passes when the occupant visually recognizes a predicted path of the vehicle or a position where left and right edges of the predicted path are projected, based on the scenery information. Based on the perspective position, the display member displays two reference marks on the windshield or screen such that the marks are separated from each other by a distance equivalent to a vehicle width or larger and appear to be aligned with the left and right edges.
