Abstract
A display device includes a controller that determines the mode of inclination of a display object that is an image shaped to point to one direction, and a drawing unit that projects light representing the display object in the mode of inclination determined by the controller onto a windshield to cause the light to be reflected off the windshield toward a user in the vehicle to enable the user to visually recognize the display object in the mode of inclination as a virtual image through the windshield. The controller determines the mode of inclination of the display object that points to the one direction as a navigation direction, by controlling yaw and roll angles of the display object depending on the attribute of a path point that is set on the path to navigate the vehicle to a destination.
