Display of a drive assist by a virtual image is understandably presented to a driver. A drive assist device 1, which displays a virtual image 35 including a vehicle mark 76 on a vehicle 2 and assists driving by moving the vehicle mark 76, is configured to be provided with a relative-value converting unit 62 which converts a recommended driving operation to be shown to a driver 3 to a relative value based on a driving operation of present time; wherein the vehicle mark 76 is moved by a movement amount corresponding to the relative value to notify the driver 3 of the recommended driving operation.

In this invention, letters that can be seen by a pedestrian (101) are drawn on an intersection (103). A mark (MM2) that can be seen by the driver of the host vehicle (C) is drawn on the road (104) between the intersection (103) and the host-vehicle (C). The shapes of the letters (MO4) are corrected in accordance with the positional relationship between the pedestrian (101) and the intersection (103). The shape of the mark (MM2) is corrected in accordance with the positional relationship between the driver of the host-vehicle (C) and the road (104).

According to an instruction of a display control device, a head-up display displays display information of individual types in a displayable region of a windshield. The display control device includes a type deciding unit for deciding the types of display information; and a display controller for causing the head-up display to display the display information with the types decided by the type deciding unit in the display areas of the displayable region, the display areas being provided for the individual types of display information, and to display the display guides indicating the display areas regardless of the presence or absence of the display information.

A computing device for a vehicle includes a processor and a memory. The processor is programmed to determine that a vehicle destination includes a boat launch and that the vehicle is towing a trailer including a boat. The computing device guides the vehicle at the boat launch to position the trailer to launch the boat.

The disclosure is directed to improving driving experience by determining and providing a personalized estimated time of arrival (ETA). For example, using at least one computing device, driving data associated with a user may be collected and stored in memory. The at least one computing device may also be used to receive ETA-related data including one or more real time ETA estimations, perform analysis on one or more of the driving data and the ETA-related data so as to determine a set of personalized parameters of a mapping function that correspond to a training set. The at least one computing device may also be used to determine the personalized ETA based at least in part on the determined set of personalized parameters and provided to the user.

In various aspects, the present disclosure provides a system and a related non-transitory computer-readable medium for performing operations incorporating social networking functions into a vehicle. The system can include a user identification subsystem that is configured to detect and identify a user. The system can also include an interactive display subsystem that is configured to generate output for display on a vehicle window. The displayed output generally includes social networking content. The social networking content can include “upload content,” “download content,” or both.

A processor-implemented method includes: adjusting a virtual content object based on a shape of the virtual content object projected onto a projection plane; and visualizing the adjusted virtual content object on the projection plane.

Disclosed are provided a navigation device or a method for overlaying a travel route, in which the position of other vehicles located on the travel route is considered, on an image obtained from a front-view camera, wherein a navigation device includes: a display device configured to display an image acquired from a front-view camera of a vehicle, to overlay a travel route on the displayed image, and to display the overlaid resultant image; and a processor configured to determine a travel route starting from a position of the vehicle acting as an ego vehicle, when a peripheral vehicle is located at the determined travel route, to determine a travel route along which the ego vehicle dodges or follows the peripheral vehicle on the basis of the position of the peripheral vehicle, and to display the determined travel route on the display unit.

A method for replaying route data with annotation for re-display comprises: recording a recorded-route-replay by a first user of a first automobile vehicle and saving the recorded-route-replay to a website; electing to trigger playback of the recorded-route-replay by a second user of a second automobile vehicle and entering a predetermined key word by the second user to trigger playback; contacting a website and downloading from the website GPS tagged pictures for a predetermined next trip travel distance of the second automobile vehicle; and retrieving one of the GPS tagged pictures when a GPS trigger location is reached during the trip of the second automobile vehicle and displaying the one of the GPS tagged pictures on an image screen of a head-up display of second automobile vehicle.

An information processing system includes a memory to store information of a target objective set for a mobile apparatus, and circuitry. The circuitry acquires external information of the mobile apparatus, acquires internal information of the mobile apparatus, generates an autonomous traveling route of the mobile apparatus based on the external information, the internal information, and the information of the target objective, converts the autonomous traveling route of the mobile apparatus to image information based on at least one of the external information and the internal information, and outputs the image information indicating the autonomous traveling route of the mobile apparatus.
