Patent ID: 11194439

Abstract:
A method comprising: using a tracked real point of view of a user in a real space and a first mapping between the real space and a virtual space to determine a point of view of a virtual user within the virtual space; causing rendering to the user at least part of a virtual scene determined by the point of view of the virtual user within the virtual space; and using a selected one of a plurality of different mappings to map tracked user actions in the real space to actions of the virtual user in the virtual space, wherein, when a first mode is selected, the method comprises mapping tracked user actions in the real space, using the first mapping, to spatially-equivalent actions of the virtual user in the virtual space, and wherein, when a second mode is selected, the method comprises mapping tracked user actions in the real space, using a second mapping different to the first mapping, to non-spatially-equivalent actions of the virtual user in the virtual space, wherein the second mapping makes available user interactions within a zone of the virtual space unavailable using the first mapping.
