Abstract
Disclosed is a head mounted display (HMD) device. A HMD device for providing a service that provides a virtual reality (VR) image comprises: a display; a sensor for sensing a direction to which the HMD device is oriented; and a processor for controlling the display to provide a first part of the VR image when the sensed direction to which the HMD device is oriented is changed within a predetermined range on the basis of the front of a user, and to provide a second part of the VR image when the sensed direction to which the HMD device is oriented is changed to escape from the predetermined range on the basis of the front of the user.
Claims15
A head mounted display (HMD) device for displaying a virtual reality (VR) image, comprising:
- a display;
- a sensor;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive, from the sensor, direction information indicating a direction in which the HMD device is directed;
- based on the direction in which the HMD device is directed being changed in a predetermined range, control the display to display a first VR image;
- and
- based on the direction in which the HMD device is directed being changed to deviate from the predetermined range, control the display to display a second VR image,
- wherein the first VR image comprises a view region corresponding to the changed direction, and
- wherein the second VR image comprises a first view region corresponding to the changed direction and a second view region corresponding to a direction which is different from the changed direction.
A method of controlling a head mounted display (HMD) device for displaying a virtual reality (VR) image, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a sensor, direction information indicating a direction in which the HMD device is directed;
- based on the direction which the HMD device is directed being changed in a predetermined range, displaying a first VR image;
- and
- based on the direction in which the HMD device is directed being changed to deviate from the predetermined range, displaying a second VR image,
- wherein the first VR image comprises a view region corresponding to the changed direction, and
- wherein the second VR image comprises a first view region corresponding to the changed direction and a second view region corresponding to a direction which is different from the changed direction.
