Method of providing virtual space, method of providing virtual experience, program and recording medium therefor

A method of providing a virtual experience to a user comprising:

• identifying a plurality of virtual objects for display in a field of view overlapping with real objects;
• detecting a position of a part of the user's body other than the user's head;
• detecting a reference line of sight of the user;
• setting an extension direction for a first virtual object of the plurality of virtual objects based on a direction of the reference line of sight;
• setting a region for a first virtual object of the plurality of virtual objects, wherein the region a part extending in the extension direction;
• and
• determining whether the first virtual object and the part of the body have touched based on a positional relationship between the region and a position of the part of the body.

A system for providing a virtual experience to a user comprising:

• a head mounted display (HMD);
• a control device connected to the HMD, wherein the control device comprises at least one processor, and the control device is configured to:
• identify a plurality of virtual objects in a virtual space;
• detect a position of a part of the user's body other than the user's head;
• detect a reference line of sight of the user;
• set an extension direction for a first virtual object of the plurality of virtual objects based on a direction of the reference line of sight;
• set a region for a first virtual object of the plurality of virtual objects, wherein the region comprises a part extending in the extension direction;
• and
• determine whether the first virtual object and a virtual representation of the part of the body have touched based on a positional relationship between the region and a position of the virtual representation of the part of the body.
