A wearable electronic device is provided. The wearable electronic device includes a display and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to perform a virtual reality (VR) application. The at least one processor may be configured to detect movement of an avatar corresponding to a user in a virtual space of VR content displayed while the VR application is being executed. The at least one processor may be configured to display a screen of the VR content to which a changeable vignetting effect is applied through the display, based on the detection of the movement of the avatar.

Method for performing vignetting function and wearable electronic device supporting the same

A wearable device outputting a sound for an object of interest and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, a wearable device may comprise at least one microphone, at least one speaker, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to identify an object of interest of a user wearing the wearable device, obtain a sound signal generated from the identified object of interest using the at least one microphone, and output the sound signal generated from the object of interest through the at least one speaker or output a sound related to the object of interest through the at least one speaker, based on a sensitivity of the obtained sound signal.

Wearable device outputting sound for object of interest and method for controlling the same

A wearable electronic device according to an embodiment may comprise a plurality of speakers, a plurality of vibration devices, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to identify a first object corresponding to a first sound and a position of the first object in a virtual space of VR content displayed through the display. The at least one processor may be configured to obtain a second sound corresponding to the movement of the first object based on the first sound and the position of the first object. The at least one processor may be configured to output the second sound through the plurality of speakers. The at least one processor may be configured to determine one or more vibration devices corresponding to the movement of the first object among the plurality of vibration devices. The at least one processor may be configured to control the one or more vibration devices to vibrate while the second sound is output through the plurality of speakers.
