A visual scene around a vehicle is displayed to an occupant of the vehicle on a display panel as a virtual three-dimensional image from an adjustable point of view outside the vehicle. A simulated image is assembled corresponding to a selected vantage point on an imaginary parabolic surface outside the vehicle from exterior image data and a virtual vehicle image superimposed on a part of the image data. Objects are detected at respective locations around the vehicle subject to potential impact. An obstruction ratio is quantified for a detected object having corresponding image data in the simulated image obscured by the vehicle image. When the detected object has an obstruction ratio above an obstruction threshold, a corresponding bounding zone of the vehicle image is rendered at least partially transparent in the simulated image to unobscure the corresponding image data.
