Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of virtual reality (English: virtual reality, abbreviated: VR), and particularly relates to a method and an electronic device for sharing 3D images in a virtual reality system.

Background technique

VR technology is a collection of simulation technology and computer graphics human-machine interface technology, multimedia technology, sensing technology, network technology and other technologies. It is a challenging cross-cutting discipline and research field. VR mainly includes simulation environment, perception, natural skills and sensing equipment. The simulation environment is a computer-generated, real-time, dynamic, three-dimensional, realistic image. Perception means that the ideal VR should have the perception of all people, such as the visual perception generated by computer graphics technology. Natural skills refer to the rotation of the person's head, eyes, gestures, or other human behaviors. The computer processes the data that is appropriate to the actions of the participants, responds to the user's input in real time, and feeds back to the user's facial features. . The sensing device is a gyroscope, an accelerator, or the like.

The VR helmet is a kind of helmet display that closes the user's vision and hearing to the outside world and guides the user to create a feeling in the virtual environment. The helmet-type display is the earliest VR display. Its display principle is to use the left and right eye screens to display the images of the left and right eyes respectively. The human eye obtains the information with parallax and produces a stereoscopic effect in the mind. As a VR display device, the helmet display has the characteristics of small size and strong sealing. When users use VR helmets, they need to put smart terminals into the VR helmet to enable users to experience virtual reality.
