Abstract

Proposed is a method for setting a viewing direction in a representation of a virtual environment. The method includes recording a known object in a real environment with a recording device. The method further includes a determination of a rotational offset of the viewing direction in the representation of the virtual environment about a yaw axis of the representation of the virtual environment, based upon the recording of the object, a known position of the recording device in the real environment and a current viewing direction in the representation of the virtual environment. The method further includes a turning of the viewing direction in the representation of the virtual environment by the amount of the rotational offset.
