Abstract
A subject is to provide a vehicle information transmitting device capable of more clearly transmitting information to a driver. In the present embodiment, a virtual image for attracting attention in which a variation amount per unit change of color or luminance is set small is appeared under a situation where a relative deceleration of an object, i.e. a preceding vehicle, is small and thus attention attracting is necessary. A virtual image for warning in which the variation per unit change of color or luminance is set large is appeared under a situation where the relative deceleration of the object is large and thus warning is necessary.
