Abstract

A method of a device supporting augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR), includes: detecting an occurrence of at least one sensory discomfort to a user when the user uses the device supporting the AR or the VR; determining a source internet-of-thing (IoT) device triggering the occurrence of the at least one sensory discomfort to the user by an operational state of the source IoT device; providing at least one suggestion to the user though a user interface of the device; and adjusting, based on a response of the user to the provided at least one suggestion, the operational state of the source IoT device.
