Abstract
Provided are an augmented reality device and a method of operating the same. The augmented reality device adjusts a depth value based on a gravity direction measured by an IMU sensor in order to obtain a depth map having a high accuracy without an additional hardware module. The augmented reality device obtains a depth map from an image obtained using the camera, obtains a normal vector of at least one pixel included in the depth map, modifies a direction of the normal vector of the at least one pixel, based on the gravity direction measured by the IMU sensor, and adjusts a depth value of the at least one pixel based on the modified direction of the normal vector.
