On the other hand, at present, 6DOF VR glasses or VR headset only can track hands and heads, and an experienter only can participate in hands and heads in the VR display experience process, so that experience is poor compared with full-body participation in a real environment.
In addition, VR glasses or VR head-mounted device of present 6DOF can't realize the obstacle avoidance with other reality objects at the in-process that experiences the VR and shows, so when having the object to break into the region that experimenter is located suddenly, can't avoid experimenter and this object to bump. Although the VR glasses or VR headset of current 6DOF can do a range calibration to experience environment when first using, experience in-process, experience person's range of motion can not surpass this scope, when approaching this scope, can remind in virtual display picture, but if pass through the pedestrian behind the back suddenly, VR glasses or VR headset are not perceived.
