Abstract
A method, a virtual reality (VR) apparatus and a recording medium for fast moving in a virtual reality are provided. The method is applicable to a VR apparatus including a head-mounted display (HMD), a locator and a calculation device. In the method, the calculation device executes an application of the VR to display frames of the application on the HMD. Then, the calculation device detects a moving direction of a user wearing the HMD in a three-dimensional space by using the locator. Afterwards, the calculation device fast moves a field of view of the frames from a current location toward the moving direction.

A method for fast moving in a virtual reality (VR), applicable to a VR apparatus comprising a head-mounted display (HMD), a locator and a calculation device, the method comprising:
- executing an application of the VR to display frames of the application on the HMD by the calculation device;
- detecting a moving direction and an acceleration direction of a user wearing the HMD in a three-dimensional (3D) space using the locator by the calculation device;
- and
- fast moving a field of view (FOV) of the frames from a current location toward the moving direction according to the acceleration direction by the calculation device,
- wherein the step of fast moving the FOV of the frames from the current location toward the moving direction by the calculation device comprises:
- determining a fasting moving distance according to a moving distance or a moving speed of the user n the 3D space.
A virtual reality (VR) apparatus, comprising:
- a head-mounted display (HMD);
- a locator, locating a user wearing the HMD;
- a storage device, recording a plurality of modules;
- and
- a calculation device having a processor, coupled to the HMD, the locator and the storage device and configured to access and execute the modules recorded in the storage device by the processor for:
- executing an application of the VR to display frames of the application on the HMD;
- detecting a moving direction and an acceleration direction of the user in a three-dimensional (3D) space using the locator;
- and
- fast moving a field of view (FOV) of the frames from a current location toward the moving direction according to the acceleration direction,
- wherein the processor determines a fasting moving distance according to a moving distance or a moving speed of the user in the 3D space.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium, recording a program to be loaded by a virtual reality (VR) apparatus to execute steps of:
- executing an application of a VR to display frames of the application on a head-mounted display (HMD) by a calculation device;
- detecting a moving direction and an acceleration direction of a user wearing the HMD in a three-dimensional (3D) space using a locator;
- and
- fast moving a field of view (FOV) of the frames from a current location toward the moving direction according to the acceleration direction by the calculation device,
- wherein the step of fast moving the FOV of the frames from the current location toward the moving direction by the calculation device comprises:
- determining a fasting moving distance according to a moving distance or a moving speed of the user in the 3D space.
