Wearable device for identifying area for displaying image and method thereof
According to an embodiment, a processor of a wearable device displays a virtual object superimposed on a virtual space by using a display. The processor receives an input for rotating a dial in a first direction while the superimposed virtual object is displayed in the virtual space. While the input is maintained, the processor reduces a first area in which the virtual space is displayed. While the input is maintained, the processor maintains a size of the virtual object that is superimposed on the virtual space and is displayed inside of the first area reduced while the input is maintained. While the input is maintained, the processor expands a second area including the image that is further displayed on the display in response to the input.
