Abstract: An awakening support device promotes awakening of a driver. The awakening support device includes: a vehicle state determiner that determines whether a vehicle of the driver is traveling or stopped; and a stimulus controller that controls a stimulus generation device that generates a stimulus used for supporting the awakening of the driver based on a result of determination by the vehicle state determiner. The stimulus controller causes the stimulus generation device to generate a stimulus more intense than a stimulus generated when the vehicle is determined to be traveling, when the vehicle state determiner determines that the vehicle is stopped.

Abstract: An information presentation system according to the present disclosure makes a presentation unit present each of multiple different pieces of information such that an image displayed in a first form and a sound output in a second form are synchronized with each other on an individual basis. The information presentation system also makes the presentation unit shift, when presenting two different pieces of information, selected from the multiple different pieces of information, as two sounds in the second form, a timing to output one of the two sounds by at least a certain period of time with respect to a timing to output the other of the two sounds, in order to prevent the two sounds from overlapping with each other.
