Recently, the development of the Metaverse has increased the demand for immersive head-mounted displays (immersive HMD). Using immersive HMD in daily life requires user awareness of the surrounding people and objects while ensuring a high sense of immersion and visibility. This study proposes HidEye, an interaction method that enables users to easily switch between virtual and real-space content by covering one eye. Furthermore, applications are also developed in which covering one eye is used to change the field of view in a virtual space. The performance of the system is also verified through performance evaluations and user studies.
