Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic device. The electronic device comprises: a display for displaying virtual reality (VR) content; a detection unit for detecting a distance between the electronic device and at least one from among a user and a terminal device held by the user; and a processor for determining a virtual field of view corresponding to the distance detected by the detection unit, and controlling the display to display a screen including a VR content area corresponding to the virtual field of view.
Claims13
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display configured to display a virtual reality (VR) content;
- a detection unit configured to detect a distance between the electronic device and either one or both of a user and a terminal device being held by the user;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify a virtual field of view by increasing the virtual field of view based on the detected distance being increased from a previously-detected distance and decreasing the virtual field of view based on the detected distance being decreased from the previously-detected distance;
- identify a virtual reality (VR) content area corresponding to the virtual field of view in a VR content;
- and
- control the display to display a screen including the VR content area,
- wherein the virtual field of view is a field of view based on the user.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display;
- a detection unit configured to detect a distance between the electronic device and either one or both of a user and a terminal device being held by the user;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify a virtual field of view by increasing the virtual field of view based on the detected distance being increased from a previously-detected distance and decreasing the virtual field of view based on the detected distance being increased from the previously-detected distance;
- identify a virtual reality (VR) content area corresponding to the virtual field of view in a VR content;
- and
- control the display to display a screen including the VR content area corresponding to the virtual field of view,
- wherein the virtual field of view is a field of view based on the electronic device.
A controlling method of an electronic device that comprises a display and a detection unit detecting a distance between the electronic device and either one or both of a user and a terminal device being held by the user, the method comprising:
- identifying a virtual field of view, by increasing the virtual field of view based on the detected distance being increased from a previously-detected distance and decreasing the virtual field of view based on the detected distance being decreased from the previously-detected distance;
- identifying a virtual reality (VR) content area corresponding to the virtual field of view in a VR content;
- and
- controlling the display to display a screen comprising the VR content area,
- wherein the virtual field of view is a field of view based on the user.
