FIELD: computer engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves measuring parameters of movement of user body parts, converting these data into required representation, processing sequences of converted data in order to detect region of virtual space which is displayed to user according to its position and orientation taking into account interaction with objects of virtual space, mounting near main joints of user body instruments which measure at least one angle between segments which are adjacent to corresponding joint of user body, setting linear sizes of segments of motor apparatus of user, mounting on at least one segment of motor apparatus a tool which measure reference directions, measurement of orientation of at least one segment which carries reference direction detector, , detection of angles between segments which are adjacent to said main joints of body, detection of orientation and position of user body as whole in three-dimensional space using measured angles and orientation of said at least one segment which carries reference direction detector, detection of support segment or segments of motor apparatus of user with respect to rest in displayed virtual space, detection of position and orientation of user's head in virtual space for detection of his/her sight field in virtual space, generation and displaying region of virtual space which corresponds to sight field of user. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 22 cl, 2 dwg
