1. A display system comprising:
a processor, wherein the processor includes:
a location acquiring unit that acquires a current location of an own vehicle;
an environment image generating unit that generates a virtual environment image based on a current location of the own vehicle and map information, the virtual environment image being a virtual image showing a surrounding environment of the own vehicle;
a partial video image extracting unit that acquires a real environment video image of a surrounding of the own vehicle and extracts a participant video image, the participant video image being a video image portion of a traffic participant from the real environment video image;
a turn determining unit that determines whether a driver of the own vehicle is trying to turn or not; and
a display control unit that generates and displays on a display device a composite image by inlaying each of the participant video image that is extracted into the virtual environment image at a corresponding position on the virtual environment image,
wherein the environment image generating unit, if the own vehicle is not trying to turn, generates a front virtual image including the virtual environment image corresponding to a front line of sight of the driver and, if the own vehicle is trying to turn, generates a lateral virtual image including the virtual environment image corresponding to a line of sight in a direction of turn of the driver, and
wherein the display control unit, if the own vehicle is not trying to turn, displays the composite image based on the front virtual image on the display device and, if the own vehicle is trying to turn, displays the composite image based on the lateral virtual image on the display device.
