Abstract
A method comprises receiving a value corresponding to a height of a subject, and then determining, using processing circuitry, an eye height of the subject based on the height of the subject and on anthropometric data. In some embodiments, the subject may be using a virtual reality application that includes a displayed virtual environment. Based on the determined eye height of the subject, the processing circuitry may cause at least one environmental parameter of the virtual environment to be modified.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a value corresponding to a height of a subject defined as a vertical distance from a ground surface on which the subject is supported to a top of the subject's head;
- accessing stored anthropometric data;
- determining, using processing circuitry, an eye height of the subject based on the value and on the anthropometric data;
- and
- causing, using the processing circuitry, at least one environmental parameter of a virtual environment to be modified based on the eye height of the subject.
