Abstract
A virtual reality apparatus includes a head mountable display (HMD); a detector to detect a deviation of a current orientation of the HMD from a base orientation of the HMD; and a generator to generate content for presentation to the wearer of the HMD to prompt the wearer of the HMD to turn his head so as to change the orientation of the HMD towards the base orientation.
Claims15
A virtual reality apparatus comprising:
- a head mountable display (HMD);
- a detector to detect a deviation of a current orientation of the HMD from a base orientation of the HMD;
- and
- a generator to generate content for presentation to the wearer of the HMD to prompt the wearer of the HMD to turn his head so as to change the orientation of the HMD towards the base orientation.
A method comprising:
- detecting a deviation of a current orientation of a head mountable display (HMD) from a base orientation of the HMD;
- and
- generating content for presentation to the wearer of the HMD to prompt the wearer of the HMD to turn his head so as to change the orientation of the HMD towards the base orientation.
(canceled)
A non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium which stores computer software, which when executed by a computer, causes the computer to carry out actions, comprising:
- detecting a deviation of a current orientation of a head mountable display (HMD) from a base orientation of the HMD;
- and
- generating content for presentation to the wearer of the HMD to prompt the wearer of the HMD to turn his head so as to change the orientation of the HMD towards the base orientation.
