1. A pedestrian device comprising:
a pedestrian-vehicle communication device for exchanging information with an in-vehicle device mounted in a vehicle via vehicle-to-pedestrian communications;
an AR display for displaying a virtual object(s) overlaid on a real space which can be seen by a user of the pedestrian device; and
a processor configured to:
determine if there is a risk of collision with the vehicle based on the information transmitted to and received from the in-vehicle device; and
when determining that there is a risk of collision, control display of the virtual object(s) on the AR display as an alert operation to provide an alert to the user, wherein the display of the virtual object(s) on the AR display comprises simulated images of the user and the vehicle, showing stepwise representation of a collision scene in which the user and the vehicle gradually approach each other and finally collide.
