Abstract

The present invention suppresses movement of the line of sight of a user, reports the degree of potential risk, and contributes to the safe operation of a vehicle. A vicinity-monitoring unit detects a specific object in the vicinity of the vehicle. A display unit displays a mark image, which is visible to the user and is disposed continuously or intermittently on a trajectory, in a manner so as to surround the specific object at least partially. A control unit calculates the risk potential in relation to the specific object and alters, in accordance with the calculated risk potential, the line density of the mark image disposed on the trajectory.
