Electronic device and electronic device control method

A method for controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:

• displaying a virtual reality content corresponding to a virtual reality environment;
• identifying a gaze direction of a user based on data obtained through a sensor;
• identifying a point on the virtual reality environment at which the user is gazing based on the gaze direction;
• identifying a distance between the identified point and the user on the virtual reality environment;
• displaying a first object at a position corresponding to the identified point on the virtual reality content;
• identifying, based on a user command received while the first object is displayed, whether a virtual object is present within a second object positioned at the identified point in the virtual reality environment;
• and
• controlling, based on the virtual object being identified as present, the virtual object according to the user command,
• wherein at least one of a size of the first object or a size of the second object is determined based on the identified distance.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing computer instructions that cause an electronic device to perform an operation when executed by at least one processor of the electronic device, wherein the operation comprises;

• displaying a virtual reality content corresponding to a virtual reality environment;
• identifying a gaze direction of a user based on data obtained through a sensor;
• identifying a point on the virtual reality environment at which the user is gazing based on the gaze direction;
• identifying a distance between the identified point and the user on the virtual reality environment;
• displaying a first object at a position corresponding to the identified point on the virtual reality content;
• identifying, based on a user command received while the first object is displayed, whether a virtual object is present within a second object positioned at the identified point in the virtual reality environment;
• and
• controlling, based on the virtual object being identified as present, the virtual object according to the user command,
• wherein at least one of a size of the first object or a size of the second object is determined based on the identified distance.
