A Virtual Reality (VR)-based seat control apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive, from a user, a command to operate an image mode;
- prepare a timetable of a VR image for the image mode, the timetable including a timeline of the VR image and a type of operation of a seat module of the vehicle to be synchronized with the VR image;
- run the timetable according to the command;
- perform synchronizing with the seat module of the vehicle and a VR equipment;
- control the seat module according to the timetable;
- determine a driving mode of the vehicle, the driving mode including a stopped mode or a travelling mode, according to the command;
- when the driving mode of the vehicle is determined to be the travelling mode, receive vehicle information of the vehicle, the vehicle information including a rotational speed of the vehicle and whether a road on which the vehicle travels includes an unpaved road or a bump, and predict a vehicle state to be a normal state or a dangerous state by using the vehicle information, the dangerous state being predicted when the rotational speed of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a reference rotational speed and when the road includes the unpaved road or the bump;
- and
- apply a result of prediction of the vehicle state to the timetable and stop operation of the seat module at a time corresponding to the dangerous state of the vehicle in the timetable.

A Virtual Reality (VR)-based seat control method for a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving, by a seat control device having a display, a command to operate an image mode from a user;
- preparing a timetable of a VR image for the image mode, the timetable including a timeline of the VR image and a type of operation of a seat module of the vehicle to be synchronized with the VR image;
- running, by a controller of the seat control device, the timetable according to the command;
- and
- synchronizing, by the controller, with the seat module of the vehicle and a VR equipment, and controlling the seat module according to the timetable,
- determining, by the seat control device, a driving mode of the vehicle, the driving mode including a stopped mode or a travelling mode, according to the command,
- receiving, when the vehicle is in the travelling mode, by the controller, vehicle information of the vehicle, the vehicle information including a rotational speed of the vehicle and whether a road on which the vehicle travels includes an unpaved road or a bump;
- and
- predicting, by the controller, a vehicle state including a normal state and a dangerous state based on the vehicle information, the dangerous state being predicted when the rotational speed of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a reference rotational speed and when the road includes the unpaved road or the bump;
- and
- applying, by the controller, a result of prediction of the vehicle state to the timetable, and when the dangerous state is predicted, stopping operation of the seat module at a time corresponding to the dangerous state of the vehicle in the timetable.
