Abstract

The present invention is to provide a server and a method for three-dimensional output that easily determines the user's line of sight in a virtual reality space. The server for three-dimensional output being communicatively connected with a head mounted display outputting full dome three-dimensional space data as virtual or augmented reality corresponding to a user's line of sight sequentially transmits screen data to be output to and displayed on the head mounted display; receives data on the turn in the yaw direction and the pitch direction of the head mounted display from the head mounted display; changes the screen data based on the received turn in the yaw direction and the pitch direction of the head mounted display; and changes avatar data on the user of the head mounted display based on the received turn in the yaw direction and the pitch direction of the head mounted display.

Claims (24)

1. A server for three-dimensional output, the server being communicatively connected with a head mounted display and outputting full dome three-dimensional space data as virtual or augmented reality corresponding to a user's line of sight, comprising:

a screen data transmitting unit that sequentially transmits screen data to be output to and displayed on the head mounted display;

a direction data receiving unit that receives data on the turn in the yaw direction and the pitch direction of the head mounted display from the head mounted display;

a screen data changing unit that changes the screen data based on the received turn in the yaw direction and the pitch direction of the head mounted display; and

an avatar data changing unit that changes avatar data on the user of the head mounted display based on the received turn in the yaw direction and the pitch direction of the head mounted display.

2. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the avatar data changing unit changes the direction of the head of the avatar data.

3. The server according to claim 1 , further comprising a device identifying module that acquires identification information of each of a plurality of head mounted displays connected with the server, and stores the device identification information in association with avatar information of the user of a corresponding head mounted display.

4. The server according to claim 3 , wherein the direction data receiving unit further receives the device identification information of the head mounted display from the head mounted display transmitting the data on the turn, and

wherein the avatar data changing unit identifies the avatar data of the avatar information associated with the device identification information.

5. The server according to claim 4 , wherein the screen data transmitting unit that transmits the changed screen data to the head mounted display of the received device identification information, and transmits the changed screen data together with the changed avatar data to other head mounted display.

6. A method for three-dimensional output by a server, the method outputting full dome three-dimensional space data as virtual or augmented reality corresponding to a user's line of sight, comprising:

sequentially transmitting screen data to be output to and displayed on the head mounted display;

receiving data on the turn in the yaw direction and the pitch direction of the head mounted display from the head mounted display;

changing the screen data based on the received turn in the yaw direction and the pitch direction of the head mounted display; and

changing avatar data on the user of the head mounted display based on the received turn in the yaw direction and the pitch direction of the head mounted display.

7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

acquiring identification information of each of a plurality of head mounted displays connected with the server; and

storing the device identification information in association with avatar information of the user of a corresponding head mounted display.

8. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving the device identification information of the head mounted display from the head mounted display transmitting the data on the turn; and

identifying the avatar data of the avatar information associated with the device identification information.

9. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

transmitting the changed screen data to the head mounted display of the received device identification information; and

transmitting the changed screen data together with the changed avatar data to other head mounted display.
