Abstract: Provided is an electronic device for detecting lost portions of a field of vision and distorted portions of a field of vision and storing these in a vision map. The lost portions and distorted portions are identified in cooperation with the user by means of virtual image superposition on a real scene, audible requests to the user, gesture inputs provided by the user and gaze tracking. The electronic device may detect an object and provide visual information to a user when the object is in a lost portion or distorted portion of the field of vision.

Abstract: Provided is a method, performed by an augmented reality (AR) device, of measuring a user's vision. The method includes: obtaining, by using a camera of the AR device, a background image including an image of at least one physical object; identifying an edge of the image of the at least one physical object in the background image; determining a first region for measuring the vision of the user on the background image based on the edge of the image; determining a second region corresponding to the first region on a display of the AR device; outputting a virtual object for measuring the vision of the user to the second region; obtaining a user input signal for vision measurement after the outputting the virtual object; and determining a vision prescription value of the user based on the user input signal.
