Abstract

Embodiments herein provide a method for providing a notification in a Virtual Reality (VR) device. The method includes detecting, by a processor, an obstacle in proximity to a user while VR content is displayed on a screen of the VR device worn by the user. Further, the method includes detecting, by the processor, a severity level of the obstacle based on at least one parameter. Further, the method includes providing, by a notification engine, a notification on a portion of the screen of the VR device based on the severity level.
