1. An attention calling system, comprising:
a light projection device which outputs a visual display on an interior structure of a moving body, the visual display being visually recognizable by an operator of the moving body; and
an attention calling device including a processor which controls the light projection device to call the operator's attention to an object around the moving body by means of the visual display, wherein
the processor of the attention calling device functions as a detection unit for detecting the object existing in an area surrounding the moving body, and an attention calling unit for outputting the visual display in a predetermined display range on the interior structure of the moving body by controlling the light projection device,
the area surrounding the moving body is divided into a plurality of angular areas;
the plurality of angular areas includes:
a center front area which can be visually recognized by the operator seated on the operator's seat of the moving body while having a face of the operator directed forward;
a left front area and a right front area which can be visually recognized by the operator seated on the operator's seat while having the face of the operator directed leftward and rightward at approximately 45°, respectively;
a left-side area and a right-side area which can be visually recognized by the operator seated on the operator's seat while having a waist of the operator twisted leftward and rightward, respectively;
a rearview mirror area which can be visually recognized by the operator seated on the operator's seat by means of a rearview mirror of the moving body, the rearview mirror being for the operator seated on the operator's seat to visually recognize a rear view of the moving body;
a left mirror area which can be visually recognized by the operator seated on the operator's seat by means of a left mirror of the moving body, the left mirror being for the operator seated on the operator's seat to visually recognize a rear left side view of the moving body; and
a right mirror area which can be visually recognized by the operator seated on the operator's seat by means of a right mirror of the moving body, the right mirror being for the operator seated on the operator's seat to visually recognize a rear right side view of the moving body,
the predetermined display range on the interior structure at a front side of an inside of the moving body is a horizontally extending belt-like range orthogonal to a height direction of the moving body,
the attention calling unit
outputs the visual display indicating a direction of the object in the center front area, the left front area, and the right front area, which have been detected by the detection unit, to a horizontal position corresponding to the direction of the object seen from a position of the operator in the predetermined display range on the interior structure at the front side,
outputs the visual display indicating the direction of the object in the left-side area and the right-side area, which has been detected by the detection unit, on the interior structure at left and right sides of the inside, respectively, the interior structure at the left and right sides being a separate body from the interior structure at the front side, and
outputs the visual display indicating the direction of the object in the rearview mirror area, the left mirror area, and the right mirror area, which has been detected by the detection unit, on the interior structure at a rear side of the inside.
