Abstract: A method of head-mounted display including: generating a virtual environment for display in a first person view to a user wearing a head-mounted display, measuring a head displacement pattern of the user when they are performing a predetermined locomotive action in real life, and when the predetermined locomotive action is performed within the generated virtual environment, applying a head displacement pattern to a virtual first person viewpoint of the generated virtual environment presented to the user, the applied head displacement pattern being based upon the measured head displacement pattern, whether the user is performing the predetermined locomotive action in real life or not.
