Abstract

A headup display device controls a brightness of an image according to a present illumination in an environment of a vehicle and projects the image to a front windshield of the vehicle to indicate the image as a virtual image in an interior of the vehicle. An illumination determination unit determines a present illumination by multiplying an increasing rate by an interior illumination in the interior of the vehicle when being in a light-adapted state, in which the interior of the vehicle is lighter than the exterior of the vehicle. The illumination determination unit determines the present illumination by multiplying a decreasing rate by an exterior illumination in the exterior of the vehicle when being in a dark-adapted state, in which the interior of the vehicle is darker than the exterior of the vehicle. A brightness control unit controls the brightness to correspond to the determined present illumination.
