1. A wearable electronic device comprising:
a plurality of speakers;
a plurality of vibration devices configured to provide vibration;
a display;
at least one processor including processing circuitry; and
at least one memory storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the wearable electronic device to:
identify a first object corresponding to a first sound and a position of the first object in a virtual space of virtual reality (VR) content displayed through the display,
obtain a direction from a position of an avatar to the position of the first object with respect to a direction in which the avatar faces, as a direction between the avatar and the first object,
obtain a second sound corresponding to a movement of the first object, based on the first sound and the position of the first object, wherein the second sound is obtained by rendering the first sound based on the direction between the avatar and the first object,
output the second sound through the plurality of speakers,
identify one or more vibration devices corresponding to the movement of the first object among the plurality of vibration devices, and
control the one or more vibration devices to vibrate while the second sound is output through the plurality of speakers.
