Method for obtaining image related to virtual reality content and electronic device supporting the same

An electronic device comprising:

• a communication module comprising communication circuitry;
• a camera module comprising at least one camera;
• a display module comprising a display;
• and
• at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, operatively connected to the communication module, the camera module, and the display module, and configured to:
• execute a camera application in a rear camera mode of the camera application;
• establish a communication connection with a first external electronic device corresponding to first identification information through the communication module based on obtaining the first identification information while the camera application is executed;
• display, through the display module, a first space on the execution screen of the camera application based on data received from the first external electronic device based on the communication connection, wherein the first space includes a first virtual reality space that corresponds to a direction the avatar, included in the first virtual reality space, is looking;
• based on identifying a first event associated with the camera application, transmit a request for changing a composition of the first space to the first external electronic device, wherein the first event include an event for changing a mode of the camera application from the rear camera mode to a selfie mode of the camera application;
• based on receiving data generated based on the request, display, through the display module, the composition-changed first space on the execution screen of the camera application from the first external electronic device while the camera application is executed in the selfie mode, wherein the composition-changed first space includes a second virtual reality space having a composition opposite to the first virtual reality space before the composition is changed,
• generate a mixed reality image by synthesizing a first image obtained by the camera module in the selfie mode and the second virtual reality space, and
• display, through the display module, the mixed reality image.
