Abstract

A head-up display apparatus 200 includes: a projection optical system 30 that projects a virtual image; an environment monitor portion 72 as an object detection part that detects an object present in a detection region and detects a distance from the projection optical system 30 to the object as a target distance; an arrangement change apparatus 462 as a projection distance change part that periodically changes a projection distance of a virtual image from the projection optical system 30; and a main control apparatus 90 and a display control portion 18 as an image addition part that adds a related-information image as a virtual image by the projection optical system 30 to the detected object at timing when the target distance substantially matches the projection distance.
