Abstract: A display controller converts a detection target region contained within a detection range of an obstruction sensor group and extending from a vehicle to the periphery thereof into a virtual marker image and causes a virtual image to be displayed by superimposing the image over a scene in front of the vehicle. When the relative position of an obstruction is within the detection target region, the display controller causes an arc-shaped ripple spreading in a direction based on the relative position of the obstruction to be displayed in a region, of the virtual marker image, located in a direction based on the relative position of the obstruction. The display controller converts the important information into a notification image and causes the notification image to be displayed in a display medium. The display controller changes the display format of at least one of the virtual marker image or the notification image.

Abstract: A detection method includes: obtaining periodically and repeatedly sensor values output from a capacitive sensor; determining whether the sensor values obtained exceed threshold Th1; calculating, as first difference value Δ1X of each of target sensor values CX, a difference between target sensor value CX and sensor value CX+1 immediately before the target sensor value; calculating, as second difference value Δ2X of each of target sensor values CX, a difference between (i) first difference value Δ1X of target sensor value CX and (ii) first difference value Δ1X+1 of sensor value CX+1 immediately before target sensor value CX; comparing each of second difference values Δ2X calculated and threshold Th2, and selecting one sensor value CRet based on a result of the comparing; and outputting the one sensor value CRet selected.
