Abstract
A display control device installed to a vehicle that, while inter-vehicle distance control is being executed to maintain an inter-vehicle distance from a lead vehicle traveling on a road, forms an AR image corresponding to the lead vehicle in a hypothetical display area set ahead of a vehicle traveling on the road. The display control device acquires curvature information related to curvature of an extension direction of an area on the road between the vehicle and the lead vehicle, and forms the AR image in the hypothetical display area with a shape changed to match a curvature represented by the curvature information.
