Abstract

A system comprising a virtual reality, VR, and/or augmented reality, AR, capable headset and a sensor arrangement for imaging the real environment and determining a facing direction in which a user is facing. The headset is configured to display a virtual scene and provide corresponding virtual audio to the user in a virtual mode. The headset is also configured to show the real environment and provide corresponding real audio to the user in a local mode. In response to a real person being detected and in dependence on their position and the facing direction, the headset switches from the virtual mode to the local mode.
