Method and device for switching environment picture

A device for managing a virtual environment in a technical field of virtual reality, applied to sensing equipment, a virtual reality technology being a technology for simulating a virtual environment to simulate a perceptive function for a user via virtual reality equipment, the virtual reality equipment comprising terminal equipment and the sensing equipment, the device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive a virtual environment picture provided by the terminal equipment;
• generate the virtual environment;
• display the virtual environment picture in the virtual environment, wherein the user enters the virtual environment and views the virtual environment picture after wearing the sensing equipment, wherein the user sees no real environment picture but the virtual environment picture after entering the virtual environment through the virtual reality equipment;
• in a process of displaying the virtual environment picture, acquire acceleration of the sensing equipment through an acceleration sensor;
• compare a variation of the acceleration to a variation threshold;
• determine whether the variation of the acceleration is greater than the variation threshold;
• send a real-environment-picture request to the terminal equipment to request for displaying a real environment picture when the variation of the acceleration is greater than the variation threshold, the terminal equipment being arranged to turn on a camera of the terminal equipment and return the real environment picture shot by the camera;
• receive the real environment picture returned by the terminal equipment;
• switch the virtual environment picture currently displayed to the real environment picture to display the real environment picture, to allow the user to see the real environment picture;
• and
• when the variation of the acceleration is not larger than the variation threshold, continue displaying the virtual environment picture.
