Abstract

An electronic device includes a display circuit, a sensor circuit, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to provide an omnidirectional image having a size larger than the screen through the display circuit, to provide the screen with a first area being a partial area of the omnidirectional image, to obtain information of a change in a direction, which the electronic device faces, through the sensor circuit when the omnidirectional image is provided, to provide the screen with a second area being another partial area of the omnidirectional image through the display circuit based on the obtained information, and to store a time point, at which the direction is changed, wherein the time point is correlated with a time point or a frame at which the omnidirectional image is provided.
