FIG. For example, after connecting the massage chair 100 to the user terminal through the connection terminal 143, the user terminal can be placed in the virtual reality head 130 and the virtual reality image can be reproduced through the user terminal. In this case, the massage control information corresponding to the reproduced virtual reality image is transmitted to the controller 140 of the massage chair 100, and the controller 140 controls the massage performing unit 120 based on the massage control information . At this time, each virtual reality image may include at least one of background information, audio information, and object information appearing in the virtual reality image, and the massage control information may include at least one of background information, audio information and object information of the virtual reality image It may be information set with respect to at least one of the type of motor controlling the massage unit, the driving timing of the motor, the driving time of the motor, and the driving speed of the motor. For example, it is assumed that a virtual reality image is a video that provides a massage service to a user in a background of a house where classical music flows. At this time, the massage control information is set such that the massage masters included in the object information drive the motor corresponding to the position in the body part according to the body part to be massaged by the user, The driving time and the driving time of the corresponding motor are set according to the massage start time and the massage duration, and the driving speed of the motor is set according to the operation of the massage masters included in the object information, so that the massage strength of the massage unit can be determined.

In addition, the control unit 140 may control the pivot rotation operation of the virtual reality head 130 according to a user input. The controller 140 may control the pivot rotation of the virtual reality head 130 according to the rotation direction and the rotation angle of the virtual reality head 130 input by the user through the head control panel 142. [ For example, the user pivotally rotates the virtual reality head 130 forward or backward in accordance with the direction button input through the head control panel 142, while continuously depressing the virtual reality head 130 can be pivoted to allow the user to adjust the angle of rotation by himself.

Meanwhile, the control unit 140 may further include an operation interface for the emergency button. For example, assume that the user tilts the massage performing unit 120 rearward and pivotally rotates the virtual reality head 130 forward to enjoy massage and virtual reality experience as shown in FIG. When the urgent button emergency button in the head control panel 142 or the massage control panel 141 is pressed, the massage execution unit 120 and the virtual reality head 130 It returns to the initial position and immediately returns to the state shown in FIG. That is, since the tilting motion of the massage performing unit 120 and the rotation operation of the virtual reality head 130 are defined by separate interfaces, it is difficult for the user to simultaneously control the massage. Is returned to the initial position, the virtual reality head 130 is disposed in a state in which the head of the user is directly covered, so that the user's head may be injured. Therefore, the operation interface for the emergency button can reduce the fear of injury of the user in an emergency situation and allow the user to quickly cope with the emergency situation.
