A virtual object in a three-dimensional virtual environment is fired using a virtual firearm. When the sighting telescope is installed on the virtual gun, the virtual object uses the sighting telescope to aim the target object.

A reflex sight is a different sight from an optical sight, and the reflex sight generates a virtual image (e.g., a red dot) at infinity on the sight, and the virtual image is always directed to a target object to be aimed at. In the related art, in a three-dimensional virtual environment, the positions of a camera model corresponding to a virtual object, a lens barrel of a reflective sighting telescope and a lens of the reflective sighting telescope are bound, that is, in an open mode, the lens barrel and the lens of the reflective sighting telescope are displayed in the central position of a screen and are kept unchanged no matter how the visual angle direction of the virtual object changes.

Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, a number of terms referred to in the embodiments of the present application will be described:

virtual environment: is a virtual environment that is displayed (or provided) by an application when running on a device. The virtual environment may be a simulation environment of a real world, a semi-simulation semi-fictional environment, or a pure fictional environment. The virtual environment may be any one of a two-dimensional virtual environment, a 2.5-dimensional virtual environment, and a three-dimensional virtual environment. The following embodiments illustrate the virtual environment as a three-dimensional virtual environment, but are not limited thereto. Optionally, the virtual environment is also used for virtual environment engagement between at least two virtual characters. For example, the virtual environment is used for fighting between at least two virtual characters by using a virtual gun; for another example, the virtual environment is used for at least two virtual characters to fight using a virtual firearm within a designated geographic area that is continually shrinking as virtual time increases.

Virtual object: refers to a movable object in a virtual environment. The movable object can be a virtual character, a virtual animal, an animation character, etc., such as: characters, animals, plants, oil drums, walls, stones, etc. displayed in a three-dimensional virtual environment. Optionally, the virtual object is a three-dimensional volumetric model created based on animated skeletal techniques. Each virtual object has its own shape and volume in the three-dimensional virtual environment, occupying a portion of the space in the three-dimensional virtual environment.

Viewing angle direction: a viewing direction when viewing in the virtual environment from the first person perspective or the third person perspective of the virtual object. Optionally, when the first person perspective is used, the perspective direction is a direction when the front of the virtual object is observed by the camera model in the virtual environment; when the third person refers to the perspective, the perspective direction is the direction when viewed in the virtual environment by a camera model located around the virtual object (such as behind the brain).

Optionally, the camera model automatically follows the virtual object in the virtual environment, that is, when the position of the virtual object in the virtual environment changes, the camera model changes while following the position of the virtual object in the virtual environment, and the camera model is always within the preset distance range of the virtual object in the virtual environment. Optionally, the relative positions of the camera model and the virtual object do not change during the automatic following process.

The camera model is as follows: the camera model is a three-dimensional model located around a virtual object in a three-dimensional virtual environment, and when a first person perspective is adopted, the camera model is located near the head of the virtual object or located at the head of the virtual object, and when a third person perspective is adopted, the camera model can be located behind the virtual object and bound with the virtual object, or located at any position away from the virtual object by a preset distance, and the virtual object located in the three-dimensional virtual environment can be observed from different angles through the camera model, optionally, the third person perspective is also called as a "first person over-shoulder perspective", and the camera model is located behind the virtual object (such as the head shoulder of a virtual character). Optionally, the camera model is not actually displayed in the three-dimensional virtual environment, i.e. the camera model is not recognizable in the three-dimensional virtual environment displayed by the user interface.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a reflective sighting telescope 100 in the real world. Reflective scope 100 may be a red dot scope or a holographic scope. Taking the example that the reflective sighting telescope 100 is a holographic sighting telescope, the reflective sighting telescope 100 includes a laser 11, a plane mirror 12, a collimating mirror 13, a holographic grating 14 and a holographic negative 15. The laser 11 is used for generating a laser beam corresponding to an aiming point, and the laser beam emitted by the laser 11 is reflected by the plane mirror 12, the collimating mirror 13 and the holographic grating 14 in sequence, and then is refracted by the holographic negative film 15 and then is emitted. The resulting emitted light and the ambient light viewed by the reflex sight 100 are superimposed in parallel to form an aiming point remote from the viewer's line of sight.

The reflex sight 100 has the following features: when the direction of the viewer's line of sight is parallel to the optical axis of the reflex sight 100, the display position of the sight in the lens is in the on-center state, as shown in fig. 2 (1); when the direction of the viewer's line of sight is not parallel to the optical axis of the reflex sight 100, the aiming point in the reflex sight 100 is shifted slightly, that is, the display position of the aiming point in the lens is not in the on-center state, as shown in (2), (3), and (4) of fig. 2.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a principle of simulation of a reflex sight in the related art. A virtual object 320 and a mirrored scope 340 in three dimensions are provided in the three-dimensional virtual environment 300. The virtual object 320 may be hand-held with a virtual firearm equipped with a reflex sight 340. Reflex scope 340 includes scope barrel 342 and scope lens 344. The aiming lens 344 is attached with a lens material, and the lens material 345 is attached to the aiming lens 344 to present an aiming point. Illustratively, the lens material 345 is an image with aiming points drawn on the aiming lens 344, and the portion of the image other than the aiming points may be a transparent image or a semi-transparent image.

Generally, the aiming lens 344 is mounted on a groove 343 of the aiming lens barrel 342, and a lens material 345 on which an aiming point is drawn is attached to the aiming lens 344.

In the related art, the relative positions of the sighting telescope cylinder 342, the sighting lens 344, and the lens material 345 are maintained. That is, in the open mirror mode, no matter how the virtual object moves in the virtual environment, the aiming point in the sighting telescope barrel 342 and the lens material 345 is located at the center of the virtual environment picture, and the virtual environment picture is the sighting telescope picture of the virtual environment observed by the virtual object 320 using the reflex sighting telescope 340, as shown in fig. 4, and no matter how the virtual object moves, the sighting telescope barrel 342 and the aiming point 40 in the related art are located at the center of the screen and remain unchanged.

However, in real-world environments, the movement of the arms of the person in the gun-holding state is slightly slower than the movement of the body. That is, when the person turns left and right, the firearm held by the arm turns at a slightly slower speed, and the aiming point viewed by the person is slightly shifted from the position of the gun sight barrel. The embodiment of the application provides a sighting telescope display method, equipment and a storage medium in a virtual environment, and can provide a more real simulation effect for a reflective sighting telescope.

Referring to fig. 7, a flowchart of a method for displaying a sighting telescope in a virtual environment according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The embodiment is exemplified by applying the method to the electronic device shown in fig. 5, the first device shown in fig. 6, and/or the second device shown in fig. 6, where the method includes:

step 702, displaying a first virtual environment picture, where the first virtual environment picture includes a first sighting telescope picture in which a virtual object observes a virtual environment using a reflective sighting telescope, and an aiming point in the first sighting telescope picture is located at a first position relative to a sighting telescope barrel of the reflective sighting telescope;

optionally, the virtual object is in three-dimensional form. The virtual object is any one of a simulated character, a cartoon character, an animation character, and a game character.

Optionally, various controls may be further superimposed on the first virtual environment screen, and these controls include: at least one of a moving direction control, a firing control, a projectile firing control, a main weapon slot control, an auxiliary weapon slot control, a small map control, a map azimuth guiding control and team friend/enemy unit indication marks.

The first scope view refers to a view of a virtual environment observed with a reflex scope. If the lens of the reflective sighting telescope is circular, the picture of the first sighting telescope is circular. Before the virtual object moves, the aiming point in the first scope picture is located at a first position relative to the scope lens, which may be the midpoint position of the scope barrel.

Step 704, controlling the virtual object to perform activities in the virtual environment;

the device controls the activity of the virtual object in the activity space of the virtual environment. For example, in the virtual environment, the virtual object may be set to move in a plain surrounded by a hill, the plain is the moving space of the virtual object, and the hill surrounded by the plain is an area where the virtual object cannot move.

The movement in the embodiment of the present application refers to a movement in which the trunk movement of the virtual object drives the arm (and the virtual firearm and the reflex sight held by the arm) to change positions. The activity includes: controlling the virtual object to perform at least one of translation, controlling the virtual object to steer in the left/right direction, controlling the virtual object to switch between the top view state and the bottom view state, and controlling the virtual object to switch between the top view state and the bottom view state.

Optionally, the device controls the virtual object to move at a first speed in the virtual environment and controls a scope barrel of the reflex scope to move at a second speed in the virtual environment, the first speed being greater than the second speed.

Step 706, displaying a second virtual environment picture, where the second virtual environment picture includes a second sighting telescope picture in which the virtual object observes the virtual environment using a reflective sighting telescope, and a sighting point in the second sighting telescope picture is located at a second position relative to the sighting telescope barrel, where the second position is different from the first position.

Optionally, various controls may be further superimposed on the second virtual environment screen, and these controls include: at least one of a moving direction control, a firing control, a projectile firing control, a main weapon slot control, an auxiliary weapon slot control, a small map control, a map azimuth guiding control and team friend/enemy unit indication marks.

The second scope view is a view of the virtual environment observed with the reflex scope. If the lens of the reflective sighting telescope is circular, the picture of the second sighting telescope is circular. After the virtual object is active, the aiming point in the second scope view is located at a second position relative to the scope lens, which may be a non-midpoint position of the scope barrel. Optionally, the offset between the second location and the first location is associated with activity of the virtual object. That is, the offset direction between the second position and the first position is the same as the moving direction of the virtual object, and the offset distance between the second position and the first position has a positive correlation with the moving distance of the virtual object.

Schematically, the upper diagram in fig. 8 shows the first virtual environment picture 81, and the scope barrel 342 and the aiming point 40 of the reflex scope in the first virtual environment picture 81 are both located at the midpoint of the first virtual environment picture 81. The sighting telescope lens barrel 342 comprises a first sighting telescope picture 42 in a circular shape, and the sighting point 40 is positioned at the center of the first sighting telescope picture 42; the lower diagram in fig. 8 shows a second virtual environment picture 82, affected by the virtual object turning to the right in the virtual environment, in which second virtual environment picture 82 the telescope barrel 342 of the reflex telescope acts slightly behind the torso of the virtual object, so that the relative position between the telescope barrel 342 and the aiming point 40 is shifted, wherein the aiming point 40 is still at the midpoint position of the second virtual environment picture 82, but not at the midpoint position but at a position to the right of the center with respect to the second telescope picture 44 of the telescope barrel 342.

In summary, in the method for displaying a sighting telescope provided by this embodiment, after the virtual object moves in the virtual environment, the second virtual environment picture different from the first virtual environment picture is displayed, and the positions of the aiming point in the two virtual environment pictures relative to the sighting telescope lens barrel are different, so that a more real simulation can be performed on the reflective sighting telescope in the real environment, thereby achieving a more real display effect and enhancing the immersion of the user on the virtual environment.

Referring to fig. 9, a flowchart of a method for displaying a sighting telescope in a virtual environment according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The present embodiment is exemplified by applying the method to the electronic device shown in fig. 5, the first device shown in fig. 6, and/or the second device shown in fig. 6, and the present embodiment can simulate a scene observed in a virtual environment by using a reflective scope. The method comprises the following steps:

step 901, displaying a first virtual environment picture, where the first virtual environment picture includes a first sighting telescope picture in which a virtual object observes a virtual environment using a reflective sighting telescope, and an aiming point in the first sighting telescope picture is located at a first position relative to a sighting telescope lens barrel of the reflective sighting telescope;

The device has the ability to control one or more virtual objects in the virtual environment. Taking the example that the device controls one virtual object, a camera model corresponding to the virtual object exists in the virtual environment, and the camera model is used for collecting a picture when the virtual environment is observed at the first view angle or the third view angle of the virtual object. Optionally, when the virtual object uses a reflex sight, the camera model may use the reflex sight to observe the virtual environment to obtain a first virtual environment picture, and the first virtual environment picture includes a first sight picture of the reflex sight observing the virtual environment.

The first scope view refers to a view of the virtual environment observed with the reflex scope. If the lens of the reflective sighting telescope is circular, the picture of the first sighting telescope is circular. Before the virtual object moves, the aiming point in the first scope picture is located at a first position relative to the scope lens, which may be the midpoint position of the scope barrel.

As shown in fig. 10, a screen when the virtual environment is observed using the camera model of the virtual object is displayed on the first virtual environment screen 50, and the screen 50 further includes a first scope screen 52 when the virtual environment is observed using a reflex scope 51. The first scope image 52 may be a circular image, with the virtual environment observed in the first scope image 52 being unamplified or magnified at a preset scale (1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, or 15.0). The sighting point in the first sighting telescope picture 52 is located at a first position, such as the midpoint of the first sighting telescope picture 52, with respect to the sighting telescope barrel 51 of the reflex sighting telescope.

Step 902, controlling a virtual object to move at a first speed in a virtual environment, and controlling a sighting telescope lens barrel of a reflective sighting telescope to move at a second speed in the virtual environment, wherein the first speed is greater than the second speed;

optionally, the device controls the virtual object to move at a first speed in the virtual environment according to a control signal triggered by a user. When the device is a mobile phone or a tablet with a touch display screen, the control signal may be generated by a user touching and dragging an interactive control, where the interactive control includes: at least one of a control for controlling the translation of the virtual object, a control for controlling the rotation of the virtual object, a control for controlling the looking-up/looking-down of the virtual object, a control for controlling the jumping of the virtual object and a control for controlling the crawling of the virtual object; when the terminal is a desktop computer or a portable laptop, the dragging operation may be generated by a user dragging the interactive control through an external device, such as: and clicking the interactive control by the user through a mouse and dragging.

The movement in the embodiment of the present application refers to the movement of the trunk of the virtual object, which drives the arm (and the virtual firearm and the reflex sight held by the arm) to change positions. The activity includes: controlling the virtual object to perform at least one of panning, controlling the virtual object to steer in a left/right direction, controlling the virtual object to switch between an overhead view state and a viewing state, and controlling the virtual object to switch between an overhead view state and a viewing state.

For more realistic simulation purposes, the sliding speed of the torso portion should be greater than that of the arm portion when the virtual object is moving, i.e. the movement on the arm will be slightly retarded and then follow the same or a corresponding sliding movement of the torso portion. Thus, the device controls the virtual object to move at a first speed in the virtual environment and controls the scope barrel of the reflex scope to move at a second speed in the virtual environment, the first speed being greater than the second speed. Optionally, the difference between the first speed and the second speed is less than a threshold.

Step 903, acquiring the lens orientation of the camera model corresponding to the virtual object;

the camera model has its own three-dimensional coordinates and lens orientation in the virtual environment. Optionally, the lens orientation is characterized by a lens orientation vector. The lens orientation vector may be a unit vector having an azimuth angle, a pitch angle, and a roll angle.

Step 904, moving the aiming point position of the aiming lens of the reflective sighting telescope to the extension line towards the lens;

in a virtual environment, the structure of the reflex sight can be seen with reference to fig. 3.

The device will move the aiming point position of the aiming lens to the lens orientation extension line of the camera model, i.e. the aiming point position is always at the midpoint position of the first/second virtual environment picture.

1. Multiplying the lens orientation vector by a distance parameter to obtain a lens displacement value, wherein the distance parameter is used for indicating the distance of the aiming lens relative to a camera model;

2. adding the coordinate of the camera model in the virtual environment and the lens displacement value to obtain the position coordinate of the aiming lens;

with reference to the left diagram of fig. 11, it is assumed that the virtual object 61 uses a reflex sight to observe a virtual environment before movement, at this time, the lens orientation of the camera model of the virtual object and the sight orientation of the sight lens barrel 62 of the reflex sight are both in a first direction 63, and the center of the sight lens is located on the extension line of the sight orientation; when the virtual object is moving and the lens of the camera model of the virtual object is oriented in the second direction 64, it is necessary to control the center point (i.e. the aiming point) of the aiming lens to be located on the extension line of the lens orientation. If the lens orientation vector of the camera model is V, the distance between the lens of the camera model and the aiming lens is L, and the coordinate of the camera model in the three-dimensional virtual environment is S1, then:

the position coordinates of the sighting lens S2= V × L + S1.

3. The position of the sighting lens in the virtual environment is set according to the position coordinates.

The equipment moves the aiming lens and the lens material on the aiming lens in the virtual environment according to the position coordinate. That is, the lens material moves along with the sighting lens, and the relative position of the lens material and the sighting lens does not change.

Optionally, the apparatus further sets the lens orientation of the sighting lens to be opposite to the lens orientation of the camera model so that a second sighting telescope picture corresponding to the sighting lens can be acquired.

Step 905, generating a second virtual environment picture according to the lens orientation, the lens of the sighting telescope and the sighting lens;

the equipment conducts camera framing according to the orientation of a lens of the camera model, and generates a second virtual environment picture according to pictures formed in a framing frame after the virtual environment passes through a sighting telescope lens barrel and a sighting lens.

Step 906, displaying a second virtual environment picture, where the second virtual environment picture includes a second sighting telescope picture in which the virtual object observes the virtual environment using a reflective sighting telescope, and a sighting point in the second sighting telescope picture is located at a second position relative to the sighting telescope barrel, and the second position is different from the first position.

And the equipment displays the generated second virtual environment picture. The aiming point is positioned in the center of the first virtual environment picture and the second virtual environment picture.

In one illustrative example, when the virtual object is steered to the right, the second virtual environment picture is as shown in fig. 12, the steering of the scope barrel is slightly later than the right steering of the virtual character, and therefore the position of the scope barrel is shifted to the left; in another illustrative example, when the virtual object turns to the left, the second virtual environment picture is as shown in fig. 13, and the sighting telescope barrel turns slightly later than the virtual character's left turn, so the sighting telescope barrel is positioned to the right.

Since the activity of the virtual object in the virtual environment may be continuous, the

above steps
