An authentication device including an analyser capable of verifying whether an image relating to at least one element of a real environment captured by a virtual reality helmet corresponds to a reference datum stored in association with an identifier of the user of the virtual reality helmet. The use of the virtual reality helmet can thus be linked to the room in which the helmet is located. The authentication is thus carried out by using the visual 'footprint' of the room. Alternatively, the authentication may depend on a password made up of objects as opposed to letters or numbers. The objects correspond to images of said objects captured according to the viewing directions of the user in order to compose the object password.

Device and method for authenticating a user of a virtual reality helmet

Authentication of a user of a first electronic device, such as a communication terminal or a virtual or augmented reality headset. The first electronic device is connected to a second electronic device, the first electronic device and the second electronic device being separately portable by the user. The authentication device includes an analyser capable of checking whether a detected value of a relative characteristic parameter of the second electronic device corresponds to a stored value of this relative characteristic parameter of the second electronic device associated with an identifier of a user requiring an authentication, the relative characteristic parameter corresponding to the characteristic parameter of the second electronic device measured relative to the characteristic parameter of the first electronic device.

Device and method for authenticating a user of a first electronic device connected to a second electronic device by using a relative characteristic parameter

A method which makes it possible to immerse a user in a virtual reality application is described. The method includes controlling the movement of an avatar of a user in a synthetic scene and controlling the movements of a video acquisition system depending on the detected movements of the head of the user. The method also includes playing back content on a screen of a virtual reality helmet of the user, the content being a video stream acquired by the video acquisition system if the position of the eyes of the avatar is in a synthetic object whose volume can be included in a volume in which the video acquisition system is likely to move.
