Abstract

A method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for enabling speed feedback mechanisms in virtual environments. The method acquires a view ray of a first virtual object that includes an aiming baseline of an associated aiming item. Based on contact conditions between the view ray and multiple moving objects, a first moving object corresponding to the view ray is determined. A speed feedback mechanism is enabled for the first moving object based on the contact condition, featuring an auxiliary aiming mechanism that adjusts the view ray to follow the first moving object according to its movement speed. This approach provides adaptive aiming assistance that responds to target movement dynamics in virtual gaming environments.
