In one embodiment, a method includes presenting, to a user in an XR environment, a persistent GUI element that includes a control deck. The control deck includes one or more first interactive elements, each first interactive element associated with a particular function. The method further includes locking, in a first control-deck mode, the control deck to the user such that the control deck appears at the same relative position to the user regardless of the user's movements in the XR environment.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe an electronic device for providing a visual effect corresponding to a gesture input. The electronic device includes a sensor, a wireless communication circuit, a display device, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to sense a gesture input through the sensor. The at least one processor is also configured to control the display device to display a first visual effect corresponding to the gesture input. When information related to the first visual effect is received from another electronic device through the wireless communication circuit, the at least one processor is configured to update the first visual effect displayed on the display device to a second visual effect.

Electronic device for providing visual effect corresponding to gesture input and operating method thereof

An electronic device is disclosed. In addition, various embodiments identified through the specification are possible. The electronic device includes a display, a processor, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to display, when a video supporting a plurality of orientation regions is played, a first screen corresponding to a first orientation region among the plurality of orientation regions, display a timeline representing a playback time of the video, display thumbnails of screens corresponding to the plurality of orientation regions at the first time point in response to a first user input pointing a first time point in the timeline, and receive a second user input scrolling the thumbnails.

Apparatus and method for providing point of interest (POI) information in 360 video

An augmented reality (AR) device supporting an AR is provided. The AR device includes a display, a communication circuit, at least one processor operatively connected to the display and the communication circuit, and a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to establish a connection with a user device storing a contact application and a message application, through the communication circuit, detect that the message application is executed, and display a first graphic user interface (GUI) and at least one avatar, which is disposed at a location adjacent to the first GUI and corresponds to at least one contact associated with the contact application or the message application, through the display in the AR.

Electronic device for communicating in augmented reality and method thereof

Various embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus and a method for adaptively configuring a user interface in an electronic device. According to various embodiments, an electronic device may comprise: a memory for storing instructions; a communication interface; and at least one processor connected to the communication interface and the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: receive at least one signal which is transmitted by an external electronic device and is used to determine a user's characteristic related to the electronic device and the external electronic device, in response to detection of the user's input in the external electronic device; determine a field of view (FOV) for the user on the basis of the at least one signal; and execute the stored instructions in order to display a content for virtual reality (VR) on the basis of the determined FOV.

Apparatus and method for adaptively configuring user interface

An electronic device includes a communication module, a display, and at least one processor operatively connected with the communication module and the display. The at least one processor may be configured to receive an augmented reality image from at least one external device which performs wireless communication with the communication module via the communication module, display a running screen of an application associated with the augmented reality image on the display, determine whether an object associated with input information input to the electronic device is included in the augmented reality image, and display an additional object on the object based at least in part on the input information. In addition, various embodiments recognized through the specification are possible.

Electronic device for displaying additional object in augmented reality image, and method for driving electronic device

An electronic device comprises a camera; a sensor configured to sense a motion; and one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to: sequentially acquire a plurality of images using the camera and acquire motion information of the plurality of images using the sensor, during a specified time; create a panoramic image with a first image sub-set comprising a portion of the plurality of images and a second image sub-set comprising another portion of the plurality of images, and moving picture data related to the panoramic image; and determine whether to correct at least a partial section of the moving picture data using a particular image from the second image sub-set that corresponds to the at least the partial section of the moving picture data, based on the frame rate of the at least the partial section of the moving picture data.
