A virtual reality system includes a platform, a headset, a mount, and a control unit. The headset includes a motion-sensing unit and a display unit configured to display a video of a virtual environment. The mount is positioned on the platform and configured to releasably engage the headset. While the headset is engaged with the mount, the headset is positioned in a first position. While the headset is disengaged from the mount, the headset is positioned in a second position. The control unit is connected to the headset and configured to receive first data representing the first position and associate the first position with a predetermined first perspective of the virtual environment. The control unit is also configured to receive second data representing the second position, determine a second perspective of the virtual environment corresponding to the second position, and provide video of the virtual environment from the second perspective.
A virtual reality system comprising:
A method of operating a virtual reality system, the system including a platform, a headset having a motion sensor and a display configured to display a video of a virtual environment, and a platform position sensor configured to measure a position of the platform, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions for operating a virtual reality system, the system including a platform, a headset having a motion sensor and a display configured to display a video of a virtual environment, and a platform position sensor configured to measure a position of the platform, the computer-executable instructions comprising instructions for:
