Claims16
A method for controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting environmental information associated with the electronic device using a sensor, wherein the electronic device comprises the sensor, a first image sensor, and a second image sensor;
- changing first setting information of the first image sensor based on the environmental information;
- detecting a user's viewpoint;
- selecting one of the first image sensor or the second image sensor based on the user's viewpoint;
- and
- changing the first setting information or a second setting information of the second image sensor based on the selected image sensor,
- wherein the detecting of the user's viewpoint comprises:
- receiving orientation information from a head mounted display (HMD);
- and
- determining the user's viewpoint based on the orientation information.
