Abstract

Present disclosure relates to a system for providing a simulated environment and a method thereof. The system comprises a first wearable device and a computing unit. The first wearable device is configured to output a first scenario of the simulated environment. The computing unit is configured to provide an indication corresponding to a mobile object in the first scenario when the mobile object is detectable in a predetermined distance distanced from the first wearable device.

Claims

1. A system for providing a simulated environment, comprising:

a first wearable device, configured to output a first scenario of the simulated environment; and

a computing unit, configured to provide an indication corresponding to an object in the first scenario when the object is detectable in a predetermined distance distanced from the first wearable device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the indication is an avatar corresponding to the object.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the computing unit stops to illustrate the avatar in the first scenario when the object is no longer detectable in the predetermined distance distanced from the first wearable device.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein the computing unit stops to refresh the avatar in the first scenario when the object is no longer detectable in the predetermined distance distanced from the first wearable device.

5. The system of claim 2, wherein the computing unit is further configured to refresh the avatar corresponding to a motion of the object in the first scenario when the motion is being detected exceeding a motion threshold.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the motion threshold is determined according to height, length of arm, length of feet or step length of the object.

7. The system of claim 5, wherein the computing unit is further configured to reduce a refresh rate for refreshing the avatar corresponding to the motion when the motion is being detected lowering the motion threshold.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the predetermined distance is determined according to height, length of arm, length of feet or step length measured from a user who carries the first wearable device.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the indication is a token corresponding to the mobile object.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein a distance between the first wearable device and the mobile object is detected by a second wearable device carried by the mobile object, an individual detector or the first wearable device.

11. A method for providing a simulated environment, comprising:

outputting, by a first wearable device, a first scenario of the simulated environment; and

providing, by a computing unit, an indication corresponding to a mobile object in the first scenario when the mobile object is detectable in a predetermined distance distanced from the first wearable device.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the indication is an avatar corresponding to the mobile object.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

stopping, by the computing unit, to illustrate the avatar in the first scenario when the mobile object is no longer detectable in the predetermined distance distanced from the first wearable device.

14. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

stopping, by the computing unit, to refresh the avatar in the first scenario when the mobile object is no longer detectable in the predetermined distance distanced from the first wearable device.

15. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

refreshing, by the computing unit, the avatar corresponding to a motion of the mobile object in the first scenario when the motion is being detected exceeding a motion threshold.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the motion threshold is determined according to height, length of arm, length of feet or step length of the mobile object.

17. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

reducing, by the computing unit, a refresh rate for refreshing the avatar corresponding to the motion when the motion is being detected lowering the motion threshold.

18. The method of claim 11, wherein the predetermined distance is determined according to height, length of arm, length of feet or step length measured from a user who carries the first wearable device.

19. The method of claim 11, wherein the indication is a token corresponding to the mobile object.

20. The method of claim 11, wherein a distance between the first wearable device and the mobile object is detected by a second wearable device carried by the mobile object, an individual detector or the first wearable device.
