Abstract
A vehicular display control apparatus controls an image reflecting off one of a windshield and a combiner to allow an occupant of a vehicle to visually recognize a virtual image of the image. The apparatus generates a line image and an obstacle image concerning an obstacle around the vehicle and acquires a relative direction of the obstacle with reference to the vehicle. When the obstacle exists ahead of the vehicle, a line virtual image is shaped in concave in a first direction. When the obstacle exists behind the vehicle, the line virtual image is shaped in concave in a second direction opposite to the first direction. A position of an obstacle virtual image depends on a relative direction of the obstacle with reference to the vehicle along a width direction of the vehicle.
