Abstract
Techniques of displaying a virtual environment in a HMD involve generating a lighting scheme within a virtual environment configured to reveal a real object in a room in the virtual environment in response to a distance between a user in the room and the real object decreasing while the user is immersed in the virtual environment. Such a lighting scheme protects a user from injury resulting from collision with real objects in a room while immersed in a virtual environment.
