Abstract
Provided is a method performed in a portable terminal mounted on a rotatable terminal cradle to generate a 360° captured image by controlling operations of the terminal cradle. The 360° captured image is used generate a virtual space corresponding to a captured real space. Communication is established with the terminal cradle; an image generation input is received from a user; a first captured image is generated by imaging in an imaging direction that the terminal faces; driving commands are transmitted to the terminal cradle to rotate the imaging direction of the terminal clockwise or counterclockwise; a second captured image is generated by imaging in the changed imaging direction when the terminal cradle rotates according to the driving command; and presence of a human object is determined by recognizing objects in the first and second captured images, and re-imaging is performed in the imaging direction when a human object is present.
