Abstract
Provided are a head mounted display apparatus, an operating method thereof, and a storage medium. The head mounted display apparatus includes at least one display, at least one camera disposed on a back surface of the at least one display, and a controller, in which the controller is configured to obtain an image regarding both eyes of a user through the at least one camera, detect the both eyes of the user from the obtained image, measure an inter-pupillary distance (IPD) of the user based on the detected both eyes of the user, convert a picture based on the measured IPD, and display the converted picture on the at least one display.
Claims15
A head mounted display apparatus comprising:
- at least one display to display a picture;
- at least one camera under-display disposed behind the at least one display;
- a controller;
- a memory storing a plurality of instructions executable by the controller of the head mounted display apparatus, wherein execution of the instructions causes the head mounted display apparatus to performing a plurality of operations comprising:
- obtaining, while the at least one display is mounted on a head of a user, an image of both eyes of the user through the at least one camera under-display;
- identifying positions of the both eyes of the user from the obtained image;
- determining an inter-pupillary distance (IPD) of the user based on the identified positions of the both eyes of the user and a gaze direction of the user from the obtained image;
- converting the picture based on the determined IPD and the gaze direction to prevent VR motion sickness in the user;
- and
- controlling the at least one display to display the converted picture based on the determined IPD and the gaze direction.
A method of operating a head mounted display apparatus comprising at least one display to display a picture and at least one under-display camera, the method comprising:
- obtaining, while the at least one display is mounted on a head of the user, an image of a left eye and a right eye of a user through the at least one under-display camera;
- identifying positions of the both eyes of the user from the obtained image;
- determining an inter-pupillary distance (IPD) of the user based on the identified positions of the both eyes of the user and a gaze direction of the user from the obtained image;
- converting the picture based on the determined IPD to prevent VR motion sickness in the user;
- and
- displaying the converted picture based on the determined IPD and the gaze direction on a first screen and a second screen of the at least one display.
A computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program of instructions, which when executed by a processor performs a method of operating a head mounted display apparatus comprising at least one display to display a picture and at least one under-display camera disposed, the method comprising:
- obtaining, while the display is mounted on a head of a user, an image of both eyes of the user through the at least one under-display camera;
- identifying positions of the both eyes of the user from the obtained image;
- determining an inter-pupillary distance (IPD) of the user based on the identified positions of the both eyes of the user and a gaze direction of the user from the obtained image;
- converting the picture based on the determined IPD to prevent VR motion sickness in the user;
- and
- displaying the converted picture based on the determined IPD and the gaze direction.
