Abstract
A display control device configured to control a projection device that projects an image on a windshield of a vehicle includes a circuitry. The circuitry is configured to determine a target ground object that is a ground object other than an object which a driver of the vehicle is to be warned of, the target ground object being used to provide the driver with a sense of distance to the object, and project, using the projection device, an image for indicating a presence of the object in a manner that allows the driver to perceive a sense of distance to the object on a windshield of the vehicle, such that a first part of the image and the target ground object overlap each other and a second part of the image and the target ground object do not overlap each other when viewed from the driver.
