  • Mobile Virtual Reality Head Mount Displays such as Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR are being released, as well as PC-based VR HMDs such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. However, when the user wears HMD, it hides the external view of the user. Therefore, it may happen that the user is struck by the surrounding objects such as furniture, and there is no definite solution to this problem. In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the risk of injuries by visualizing the location and information of obstacles scanned by using a RGB-D camera.
