This application discloses a method for displaying a virtual environment picture performed by a computer device. The method includes: displaying a first virtual environment picture obtained by observing a virtual environment by using a first observation position; displaying, in response to receiving a first directional instruction generated by a first directional operation, a directional skill indicator pointing to a first direction; and in accordance with a determination that a length of the directional skill indicator is greater than a distance threshold in the first virtual environment picture, displaying a second virtual environment picture obtained by observing the virtual environment by using a second observation position, the second virtual environment picture including the directional skill indicator, and the second observation position being in the first direction of the first observation position or in a surrounding region in the first direction.

A method of providing a virtual space. The method includes defining a virtual space by a processor. The method further includes displaying a field of view of the virtual space on a head mounted display device. The method further includes detecting, by the processor, a motion of the user wearing the head mounted display device. The method further includes determining, by the processor, a flying direction for an object in the virtual space in response to the detected motion. The method further includes flying, by the processor, the object within the virtual space in accordance with the flying direction. The method further includes moving, by the processor, the field of view in the flying direction.

An avatar or avatar environment to visualize data may be provided within a social networking system or service, for example as part of the Internet, and/or within a desktop widget, panel, gadget, or the like. The avatar may further evolve or alter its appearance, animation, or other visual or audio characteristics in response to the data or other input such as athletic activity performed by a corresponding user. In particular, the avatar of an embodiment may respond to and provide visualization of athletic or sport performance data.

In an example of a system, in a virtual space, a player camera that follows each player in a multiplay game, a bird's-eye camera that views the virtual space from a bird's-eye view, and an object camera that follows a predetermined object are set. A watcher watches the game by switching the player camera, the bird's-eye camera, and the object camera. In accordance with an operation of the watcher, the bird's-eye camera moves in the virtual space, and a height of the bird's-eye camera is determined in advance in accordance with a position. When virtual cameras are switched by the watcher, a game image from the virtual cameras during the switching is displayed.
