To provide a technology to improve convenience and operability in remote control of a vehicle.SOLUTION: A vehicle remote control device includes a display unit, an operation unit for operating a vehicle, a signal generation unit for generating an operation signal of the vehicle on the basis of the operation for the operation unit, and a communication unit for performing communication with the vehicle. The display unit displays an in-vehicle viewpoint image including an image of the vehicle as a transmission image, generated on the basis of a plurality of captured images captured by each of a plurality of on-vehicle cameras mounted on the vehicle, with a predetermined position inside the vehicle as a viewpoint position, and with a direction outside the vehicle viewed from the viewpoint position as a visual line direction. The communication unit transmits the operation signal to the vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】車両の遠隔操作における利便性及び操作性を向上させることが可能な技術を提供する。【解決手段】車両遠隔操作装置は、表示部と、車両を操作するための操作部と、前記操作部に対する操作に基づき前記車両の操作信号を生成する信号生成部と、前記車両と通信を行う通信部と、を備える。前記表示部は、前記車両に搭載された複数の車載カメラそれぞれで撮影された複数の撮影画像に基づき生成された、前記車両の内部の所定位置を視点位置とし、当該視点位置から見た前記車両の外部の方向を視線方向とし、前記車両の像を透過像として含む車内視点画像を表示する。前記通信部は、前記操作信号を前記車両に送信する。【選択図】図１
