Display apparatus, method of controlling display apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable recording medium

A method of controlling a display apparatus that is worn on a user and provides a virtual space to the user, the method comprising:

• acquiring information on a virtual movement region in which the user is movable in the virtual space;
• acquiring information on a real movement region in which the user is movable in a real space in which the user exists;
• calculating a superimposed area that is an area in which the virtual movement region and the real movement region are superimposed on each other when the virtual space and the real space are superimposed on each other, and acquiring a correspondence relation between the virtual space and the real space, the correspondence relation being set based on the superimposed area;
• and
• causing a display unit to display an image for the virtual space based on the correspondence relation and a position of the display apparatus in the real space, wherein
• the calculating includes
• calculating the superimposed area for each of combinations of the virtual space and the real space for which at least one of a relative position and a relative orientation of the virtual space and the real space is moved, and acquiring a correspondence relation for which the superimposed area is maximum among the superimposed areas.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium on which an executable program is recorded, the program causing a computer to implement a method of controlling a display apparatus that is worn on a user and provides a virtual space to the user, the program causing the computer to execute:

• acquiring information on a virtual movement region in which the user is movable in the virtual space;
• acquiring information on a real movement region in which the user is movable in a real space in which the user exists;
• calculating a superimposed area that is an area in which the virtual movement region and the real movement region are superimposed on each other when the virtual space and the real space are superimposed on each other, and acquiring a correspondence relation between the virtual space and the real space, the correspondence relation being set based on the superimposed area;
• and
• causing a display unit to display an image for the virtual space based on the correspondence relation and a position of the display apparatus in the real space, wherein
• the calculating includes
• calculating the superimposed area for each of combinations of the virtual space and the real space for which at least one of a relative position and a relative orientation of the virtual space and the real space is moved, and acquiring a correspondence relation for which the superimposed area is maximum among the superimposed areas.
