*Be aware of your surroundings when enjoying VR

The VR system uses your device's location information and gyro sensor to change the display range according to its orientation and tilt angle.
VR images are downloaded by referring to the location information on the smartphone or tablet. Once the VR system uses the location information to display a graphic, it does not require the location information again for displaying the same graphic.

If your location information is unable to be used via the browser and your device displays a message about Location Services, allow its access to your location information, as the device may not have been configured so at the time of purchase. If you selected Don't Allow before, allow its access on your device.

<Check the position of the VR experience spot>

<Adjust the VR orientation>

The VR acquires the device’s compass information and matches the graphics displayed to the proximity of the actual direction.
