Claim 7:
8. A method for providing an augmented reality image by an HMD device, the method comprising:
obtaining information on a surrounding environment of the HMD device via at least one sensor of the HMD device;
setting a focus space generated based on a designated location;
based on the information on the surrounding environment and the focus space, determining at least one first object positioned inside the focus space, and at least one second object positioned outside the focus space; and
displaying, via a display of the HMD device, a virtual image in a first area of a transparent member of the HMD device, the at least one second object being seen in the first area, the virtual image having a size identical to a size of the first area such that the at least one second object is seen to be opaque or blurred and the at least one first object is seen to be transparent,
wherein the setting of the focus space comprises:
setting, as the focus space, a three-dimensional reality space determined based on a distance between a current location of the HMD device and a location of a designated object selected by a user input with respect to the current location of the HMD device, and

wherein the at least one first object, the at least one second object, and the designated object are real objects.
