Abstract
A master device providing an image to a slave device providing a virtual reality service is provided. The master device includes: a content input configured to receive an input stereoscopic image; a communicator configured to perform communication with the slave device providing the virtual reality service; and a processor configured to determine a viewpoint region corresponding to a motion state of the corresponding slave device in the input stereoscopic image on the basis of motion information received from the slave device and control the communicator to transmit an image of the identified viewpoint region to the slave device.
Claims15
A master device providing an image to a slave device providing a virtual reality service, comprising:
- a content input configured to receive an input stereoscopic image;
- a communicator configured to perform communication with the slave device providing the virtual reality service;
- and
- a processor configured to identify a viewpoint region corresponding to a motion state of the corresponding slave device in the input stereoscopic image on the basis of motion information received from the slave device and control the communicator to transmit an image of the identified viewpoint region to the slave device.
A slave device providing a virtual reality service, comprising:
- a communicator configured to perform communication with a master device providing a virtual reality service on the basis of an input stereoscopic image;
- a sensor configured to sense a motion state of the slave device;
- and
- a processor configured to control the communicator to transmit information on the sensed motion state to the master device, and receive an image of a viewpoint region corresponding to the sensed motion state from the master device and output the received image.
An image system including a master device and a slave device providing a virtual reality service, comprising:
- the slave device configured to sense a motion state and transmit motion information on the sensed motion state to the master device;
- and
- the master device configured to identify a viewpoint region corresponding to the motion state of the corresponding slave device in an input stereoscopic image on the basis of the motion information received from the slave device and transmit an image of the identified viewpoint region to the slave device.
A control method for a master device providing an image to a slave device providing a virtual reality service, comprising:
- receiving an input stereoscopic image;
- determining a viewpoint region corresponding to a motion state of the corresponding slave device in the input stereoscopic image on the basis of motion information received from the slave device;
- and
- transmitting an image of the identified viewpoint region to the slave device.
