Description

Space simulation and interactive system based on virtual reality technology and its control method Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of virtual reality technology, and in particular to a space simulation and interaction system based on virtual reality technology and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Virtual reality technology, also known as VR, uses computer systems and sensor technology to generate a three-dimensional environment, creating a new form of human-computer interaction. By engaging the user's various senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, etc.), VR technology offers a more realistic and immersive experience. With the advancement of hardware performance and significant cost reductions, VR technology has seen widespread development in recent years. However, head-mounted displays (HMDs) can only provide visual signals of the virtual space. Only with the addition of a spatial simulator that allows the human body to detect changes in gravity balance and acceleration can a truly immersive experience be achieved. This can also prevent and mitigate dizziness and discomfort caused by a mismatch between visual signals and information received by other organs. However, most current spatial simulators are only available in laboratories, professional training centers, and dedicated gaming centers. Their complex structures, large size, and high cost make them unattainable for the general public. Furthermore, most spatial simulators offer a poor user experience, offering limited rotation angles and failing to achieve full, controllable 360° rotation along three axes.

[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] The embodiments of the present application provide a spatial simulation and interaction system based on virtual reality technology. As shown in Figures 1 and 10, the proposed spatial simulation and interaction system includes a simulation device 100 and a head-mounted display device 200. The head-mounted display device 200 is communicatively connected to the simulation device 100 and is used to provide a spatial virtual image. The simulation device 100 includes a first drive mechanism 10, a second drive mechanism 20, a third drive mechanism 30, and a control mechanism 40. The first drive mechanism 10 includes a rotating ring 11 and a first drive assembly 12. The first drive assembly 12 is connected to the rotating ring 11 and is used to drive the rotating ring 11 to rotate about the Y axis. The second drive mechanism 20 includes a rotating frame 21 and a second drive assembly 22. The rotating frame 21 is disposed inside the rotating ring 11, and the second drive assembly 22 is installed between the rotating frame 21 and the rotating ring 11 and is used to drive the rotating frame 21 to rotate about the X axis. The third drive mechanism 30 includes a seat 31 and a third drive assembly 32. The seat 31 is located inside the rotating frame 21 and is used to support the user. The third drive assembly 32 is installed between the rotating frame 21 and the seat 31 and is used to drive the seat 31 to rotate about the Z-axis. The control mechanism 40 is communicatively connected to the first drive mechanism 10, the second drive mechanism 20, the third drive mechanism 30, and the head-mounted display device 200. The control mechanism 40 is used to control the operation of the first drive mechanism 10, the second drive mechanism 20, and the third drive mechanism 30.

[0043] It should be noted that the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are based on the center of the simulation device 100 as the coordinate origin, and the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are perpendicular to each other. The left and right direction of the user is the X-axis direction, the axial direction of the rotating ring 11 is the Y-axis direction, and the up and down direction of the user is the Z-axis direction. When the user follows the rotation of the seat 31, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis remain unchanged relative to the user. At the same time, the user's coordinate position is always synchronized with the coordinate position of the virtual space screen of the head display device 200. Therefore, the rotation angle of the rotating ring 11, the rotating frame 21, and the seat 31 can be accurately controlled by rotating along the three axes of X, Y, and Z.

[0044] It should also be noted that the head-mounted display device 200 can be a standalone integrated head-mounted display system or a separate system with a host computer and head-mounted display. The head-mounted display device 200 includes a display screen for displaying a virtual space image. The head-mounted display device 200 communicates with the control mechanism 40 to provide spatial posture, position, and motion information of a virtual character. The control mechanism 40 issues commands to control the operation of the first drive mechanism 10, the second drive mechanism 20, and the third drive mechanism 30 to simulate the spatial posture, position, and motion of the character within the head-mounted display device 200.

[0045] It should also be noted that the head display device 200 provides the user with a virtual space screen including a virtual character synchronized with the user's movements and a specific application scene screen. The specific application scenarios include but are not limited to various scenes such as flight driving, amusement parks, car driving, games, shooting, fighting, surfing, bungee jumping, and skydiving.

[0046] For example, a user is secured to a chair 31 and wears a head-mounted display 200. The head-mounted display 200 provides the user with a virtual space image via a display screen. Based on the displayed virtual space image, the control mechanism 40 controls the first drive assembly 12 to rotate the rotating ring 11 about the Y axis, / or the second drive assembly 22 to rotate the rotating frame 21 about the X axis, and / or the third drive assembly 32 to rotate the chair 31 about the Z axis, thereby synchronizing the virtual space image with the user's real-world movements. In this embodiment, the 360° controllable forward and reverse rotation along the X, Y, and Z axes significantly enhances the user experience.

[0047] In one embodiment, the simulation device 100 and the head-mounted display device 200 transmit signals to each other via a wireless Bluetooth / WiFi connection. The head-mounted display device 200 is worn on the user's head, and the seat 31 provides an auxiliary mechanism for supporting the head-mounted display device 200 to reduce the user's wearing burden. Of course, as an alternative embodiment, the simulation device 100 and the head-mounted display device 200 can also be connected via a wired electrical connection. For example, the head-mounted display device 200 is mounted on the seat 31, which provides a power supply and data transmission interface for the head-mounted display device 200. The head-mounted display device 200 is connected to the simulation device 100 via a communication interface.

[0048] It should be noted that the head-mounted display 200 and the simulation device 100 can be independently used as two products of the spatial simulation and interaction device, with data transmission between the head-mounted display 200 and the simulation device 100 being achieved through a data transmission interface and protocol. Of course, as an alternative embodiment, the head-mounted display 200 and the simulation device 100 can also be integrated into a single product, and the head-mounted display 200 and the simulation device 100 can directly transmit data.

[0049] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the first drive mechanism 10 further includes a fixed base 13, and the rotating ring 11 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 13. The fixed base 13 includes a first limiting portion 1311 and a second limiting portion 1312, which are spaced apart along the Y-axis direction. The bottom of the rotating ring 11 is embedded between the first limiting portion 1311 and the second limiting portion 1312. In this embodiment, the simulation device 100 is fixed to the ground via the fixed base 13, and the rotating ring 11 is disposed on the fixed base 13. The fixed base 13 limits the rotation range of the rotating ring 11 via the first limiting portion 1311 and the second limiting portion 1312, ensuring that the rotating ring 11 rotates in the correct position on the fixed base 13, preventing the rotating ring 11 from accidentally detaching from the fixed base 13, thereby improving user safety.

[0050] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in one embodiment, the first drive assembly 12 includes a first drive motor 121, a first pulley 122, and a transmission belt 123. The first drive motor 121 and the first pulley 122 are mounted on the fixed base 13. The first drive motor 121 is connected to the first pulley 122, and the transmission belt 123 surrounds the outer surfaces of the rotating ring 11 and the first pulley 122. In this embodiment, the first drive motor 121 drives the first pulley 122 to rotate, and the first pulley 122 drives the transmission belt 123 to rotate through friction. The transmission belt 123 drives the rotating ring 11 to rotate about the Y-axis. In this embodiment, the transmission of kinetic energy through the transmission belt 123 can reduce impact and vibration, making the rotating ring 11 more stable during rotation and reducing noise.

[0051] It should be noted that the first drive assembly 12 is not limited to the above embodiment. In another embodiment, the first drive assembly 12 includes a first drive motor 121 and a friction wheel. The first drive motor 121 and the friction wheel are mounted on the fixed base 13. The first drive motor 121 is connected to the friction wheel, and the friction wheel abuts the outer surface of the rotating ring 11. In this embodiment, the first drive motor 121 drives the friction wheel to rotate, and the friction wheel drives the rotating ring 11 to rotate about the Y-axis through friction.

[0052] It should also be noted that the first drive assembly 12 is not limited to the above embodiment. In another embodiment, the first drive assembly 12 includes a first drive motor 121 and a gear. The first drive motor 121 and the gear are mounted on the fixed base 13. The first drive motor 121 is connected to the gear. The rotating ring 11 has an annular rack on its outer surface, and the gear meshes with the annular rack. In this embodiment, the first drive motor 121 drives the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the rotating ring 11 to rotate about the Y-axis via the annular rack.

[0053] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 to 7, the first drive assembly 12 further includes a fixed wheel assembly 124, which is rotatably mounted on the fixed seat 13. The fixed wheel assembly 124 includes a second pulley 1241 and two first conical wheels 1242 coaxially spaced apart from the second pulley 1241. The second pulley 1241 is located between the two first conical wheels 1242. The two first conical wheels 1242 are symmetrically arranged. The second pulley 1241 abuts against the transmission belt 123, and the first conical wheels 1242 abut against the outer surface of the rotating ring 11. The outer side surface of the rotating ring 11 is provided with a first inclined surface 111 that matches the outer side surface of the first conical wheels 1242. In this embodiment, the two first conical wheels 1242 are disposed below the rotating ring 11. On the one hand, they are used to support the rotating ring 11, and on the other hand, they can also limit the rotation range of the rotating ring 11 to prevent the rotating ring 11 from shifting during rotation.

[0054] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 8, the first drive assembly 12 further includes a tensioning wheel assembly 125, which includes a first connecting member 1251, a third pulley 1252, and a first elastic member 1253. The first connecting member 1251 is rotatably mounted on the fixed seat 13, the third pulley 1252 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 1251 and abuts against the transmission belt 123, and the first elastic member 1253 is connected between the first connecting member 1251 and the fixed seat 13. In this embodiment, since the transmission belt 123 may become loose during operation, thereby affecting the transmission effect, the elastic force of the first elastic member 1253 is used to keep the third pulley 1252 pressed against the transmission belt 123 at all times, thereby ensuring that the transmission belt 123 is always in a tensioned state during operation, thereby improving the transmission effect of the transmission belt 123.

[0055] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 3 , the simulation device 100 has a vertical symmetry plane AA. The first drive motor 121, first pulley 122, fixed pulley assembly 124, and tensioning pulley assembly 125 are each two in number. The two first pulleys 122, two fixed pulley assemblies 124, and two tensioning pulley assemblies 125 are symmetrically distributed relative to the vertical symmetry plane AA. This embodiment can provide a more regular layout of the first drive assembly 12 and improve power transmission.

[0056] Of course, in specific applications, there may be no limitation on the number and layout of the first drive motor 121, the first pulley 122, the fixed pulley set 124, and the tensioning pulley set 125. For example, as shown in FIG4 , in another embodiment, the number of the first drive motor 121, the first pulley 122, and the tensioning pulley set 125 is one, and the number of the fixed pulley sets is two. This embodiment significantly reduces costs by reducing the number of the first drive motor 121, the first pulley 122, and the tensioning pulley set 125.

[0057] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 and 23, the control mechanism 40 includes a first control assembly 41, a second control assembly 42, a conductive assembly 43, a first contact assembly 44, and a second contact assembly 45. The first control assembly 41 is electrically connected to the first drive assembly 12 and is used to control the operation of the first drive assembly 12. The second control assembly 42 is electrically connected to the second drive assembly 22 and the third drive assembly 32 and is used to control the operation of the second drive assembly 22 and the third drive assembly 32. The conductive assembly 43 is mounted on the rotating ring 11 along the circumference thereof and is electrically connected to the second control assembly 42. The first contact assembly 44 is electrically connected to the first control assembly 41 and is in electrical contact with the conductive assembly 43. The second contact assembly 45 is connected between the conductive assembly 43 and the second control assembly 42.

[0058] It should be noted that the first contact assembly 44 is an elastic contact. The first contact assembly 44 is always in electrical contact with the conductive assembly 43 under the action of elastic force.

[0059] It should also be noted that there are two first contact assemblies 44 and two second contact assemblies 45, and that the conductive assembly 43 includes two conductive rings. Each first contact assembly 44 is electrically connected to a conductive ring, and each second contact assembly 45 is also connected to a conductive ring. This creates a closed circuit between the first control assembly 41 and the second control assembly 42.

[0060] Illustratively, a first contact assembly 44 is fixed to the base, and a conductive assembly 43 surrounds the outside of the rotating ring 11. The first contact assembly 44, under the action of a spring force, ensures that the rotating ring 11 maintains electrical contact with the conductive assembly 43 during rotation. A second contact assembly 45 is disposed within the second drive assembly 22 and ensures that the second contact assembly 45 maintains electrical contact with the conductive assembly 43 during rotation of the rotating frame 21. The arrangement of the first contact assembly 44, the second contact assembly 45, and the conductive assembly 43 enables the transmission of electrical signals between the first control assembly 41 and the second control assembly 42, ensuring the normal operation of the rotating ring 11 and the rotating frame 21.

[0061] In another embodiment, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the first driving mechanism 10 further includes a fixed seat 13 and a fixed ring 14, the fixed seat 13 is fixedly connected to the fixed ring 14, and the rotating ring 11 is rotatably arranged on the inner side of the fixed ring 14 and coaxially arranged with the fixed ring 14.

[0062] In this embodiment, the fixing base 13 includes a first fixing portion 131 and a second fixing portion 132. The first fixing portion 131 includes a first limiting portion 1311 and a second limiting portion 1312. The first limiting portion 1311 and the second limiting portion 1312 are spaced apart along the Y-axis, and the bottom of the second fixing portion 132 is embedded between the first limiting portion 1311 and the second limiting portion 1312. The second fixing portion 132 includes a third limiting portion 1321 and a fourth limiting portion 1322. The third limiting portion 1321 and the fourth limiting portion 1322 are spaced apart along the Y-axis, and a portion of the fixing ring 14 is embedded between the third limiting portion 1321 and the fourth limiting portion 1322. The fixed seat 13 limits the rotation area of ​​the rotating ring 11 through the first limiting part 1311, the second limiting part 1312, the third limiting part and the fourth limiting part 1322, ensuring that the rotating ring 11 rotates in the correct position on the fixed ring 14 to prevent the rotating ring 11 from accidentally detaching from the fixed seat 13, thereby improving user safety.

[0063] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG12 , the first drive assembly 12 includes a second drive motor 126 and a driving wheel set 127. The driving wheel set 127 is rotatably mounted on the rotating ring 11 and abuts against the inner surface of the fixed ring 14. The second drive motor 126 is connected to the driving wheel set 127. The second drive motor 126 drives the driving wheel set 127 to rotate along the inner side of the fixed ring 14, thereby achieving rotation of the rotating ring 11 around the Y-axis.

[0064] It should be noted that the second drive motor 126 is a rotor motor, which is arranged inside the driving wheel group 127. The rotor motor includes a rotor 1262 and a stator 1261. When the rotor 1262 rotates, it drives the driving wheel group 127 to rotate synchronously. With this implementation, the structure is simple, the transmission efficiency is high, and the energy consumption is low.

[0065] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 14 to 16, the fixed ring 14 includes a first annular protrusion 141, which is provided on the inner surface of the fixed ring 14. The outer surface of the driving wheel assembly 127 has a first annular groove 1271, which is embedded in the first annular protrusion 141. In this embodiment, the driving wheel assembly 127 is engaged with the first annular protrusion 141 via the first annular groove 1271, which prevents the rotating ring 11 from shifting during rotation, increases the stability of the rotating ring 11 during rotation, and improves user safety.

[0066] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 15 and 17, the driving wheel assembly 127 includes two coaxially spaced second conical wheels 1272. The diameter of each second conical wheel 1272 gradually increases from the axial direction toward the center of the driving wheel assembly 127. The inner side surface of the fixed ring 14 has a second inclined surface 142 that cooperates with the second conical wheels 1272. The provision of the second conical wheels 1272 and the second inclined surface 142 increases the stability of the rotating ring 11 during rotation and reduces energy loss.

[0067] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG12 , the first drive assembly 12 further includes a driven wheel assembly 128, which is disposed between the fixed ring 14 and the rotating ring 11. The driving wheel assembly 127 and the driven wheel assembly 128 are arranged at intervals with the center of the rotating ring 11 as the center. In this embodiment, there is one driving wheel assembly 127 and two driven wheel assemblies 128, and the one driving wheel assembly 127 and the two driven wheel assemblies 128 are arranged in a triangle with the center of the rotating ring 11 as the center.

[0068] It should be noted that the number of driven wheel groups 128 is not limited to two. The number of driven wheel groups 128 can be N (N is an integer not less than 2).

The second contact assembly 45 is disposed within the second drive assembly 22 and ensures that the second contact assembly 45 is always in electrical contact with the conductive assembly 43 during rotation of the rotating frame 21. The arrangement of the first contact assembly 44, the second contact assembly 45, and the conductive assembly 43 enables the transmission of electrical signals between the first control assembly 41 and the second control assembly 42, ensuring the normal operation of the rotating ring 11 and the rotating frame 21.

[0080] It should be noted that the lifting drive assembly 33 is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. In another embodiment, the lifting drive assembly 33 includes a telescopic rod and a fifth drive motor 333. The telescopic rod is installed between the rotating frame 21 and the seat 31.

[0084] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG19 , the simulation device 100 further includes a safety protection component 50 , which is installed on the seat 31 . The safety protection component 50 is used to fix the user's head, hands, feet and body, thereby greatly improving the user's safety during the experience.

[0085] In one embodiment, the simulation device 100 and the head-mounted display 200 further include posture sensors for collecting user posture and position data. In this embodiment, the simulation device 100 and the head-mounted display 200 are independent devices. When the head-mounted display 200 is mounted on a chair or worn and secured to a chair by the user, it moves in sync with the user. Therefore, the posture and position data collected by the posture sensors on both devices are synchronized, thereby ensuring that the state of the character in the virtual scene provided by the head-mounted display 200 is synchronized with the state of the real user. Of course, in specific applications, the simulation device 100 and the head-mounted display 200 can also be connected via communication.

[0086] It should be noted that, as an alternative embodiment, the head-mounted display device 200 may not have a posture sensor.

The generated operation instructions are used to control the operation of the simulation device 100.

[0089] It should be noted that the hand controller 60 and the hand controller 70 can be directly mounted on the seat 31.

Of course, as an alternative embodiment, the hand controller 60 and the hand controller 70 can also be wireless controllers that can be held in the hand.

[0090] The embodiments of the present application provide a control method for a space simulation and interaction system based on virtual reality technology, including:

[0091] The hand manipulator 60 generates an operation instruction in response to the user's hand operation, and the operation instruction is used to control the simulation device 100 to perform at least one of the following actions: controlling the first drive component 12 to drive the rotating ring 11 to rotate around the Y axis, controlling the second drive component 22 to drive the rotating frame 21 to rotate around the X axis, controlling the third drive component 32 to drive the seat 31 to rotate around the Z axis, controlling the rotation speed of the rotating ring 11 driven by the first drive component 12 to rotate around the Y axis, controlling the rotation speed of the rotating frame 21 driven by the second drive component 22 to rotate around the X axis, controlling the rotation speed of the seat 31 driven by the third drive component 32 to rotate around the Z axis, and / or,

[0092] The hand manipulator 70 is operated by the user's foot to generate an operation instruction, and the operation instruction is used to control the simulation device 100 to perform at least one of the following actions: controlling the rotation speed of the first drive component 12 driving the rotating ring 11 to rotate around the Y axis, controlling the rotation speed of the second drive component 22 driving the rotating frame 21 to rotate around the X axis, controlling the rotation speed of the third drive component 32 driving the seat 31 to rotate around the Z axis, and / or,

[0093] The head-mounted display device 200 automatically generates an operation instruction based on the virtual scene screen, wherein the operation instruction is used to control the simulation device 100 to perform at least one of the following actions: controlling the first drive component 12 to drive the rotating ring 11 to rotate around the Y axis, controlling the second drive component 22 to drive the rotating frame 21 to rotate around the X axis, controlling the third drive component 32 to drive the seat 31 to rotate around the Z axis, controlling the rotation speed of the rotating ring 11 driven by the first drive component 12 to rotate around the Y axis, controlling the rotation speed of the rotating frame 21 driven by the second drive component 22 to rotate around the X axis, controlling the rotation speed of the seat 31 driven by the third drive component 32 to rotate around the Z axis, and / or,

[0094] The simulation device 100 obtains the user's operation action information and posture information through the hand manipulator 60, the hand manipulator 70 and the posture sensor, and generates corresponding operation instructions based on the obtained operation action information and posture information. The simulation device 100 transmits the operation instructions to the head display device 200, so that the head display device 200 generates a virtual screen synchronized with the user's operation action according to the operation instructions.

[0095] For example, when the user sits on the seat 31, puts on the head display device 200, and starts the simulation device 100, the user performs corresponding operations by manipulating the hand manipulators 60 and 70 according to the virtual space picture provided by the head display device 200 to generate operation instructions. The control mechanism 40 controls the operation of the first drive mechanism 10, the second drive mechanism 20, and the third drive mechanism 30 according to the generated operation instructions, and at the same time drives the user to rotate during the operation of the first drive mechanism 10, the second drive mechanism 20, and the third drive mechanism 30. In addition, the control mechanism 40 can also collect the user's operation action information to control the virtual space picture displayed on the head display device 200, so that the user's real operation action is synchronized with the virtual space picture provided by the head display device 200, greatly improving the user's sense of participation and real experience.

[0096] The embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a space simulation and interaction system based on virtual reality technology, further comprising:

[0097] When the user just sits on the seat 31, the control mechanism 40 obtains the posture data of the seat 31 and the user and the torque data of the third drive motor 221 through the posture sensor, and generates a center of gravity leveling instruction.

[0099] The control mechanism 40 controls the third driving assembly 32 to drive the rotating frame 21 to rotate around the X-axis to a preset angle;

[0100] The control mechanism 40 controls the lifting drive assembly 33 to drive the seat 31 to move along the Z-axis direction until the overall center of gravity of the user, the seat 31 and the rotating frame 21 coincides with the rotation center of gravity of the simulation device 100 .

[0101] In this embodiment, since the weight of each user is different, it is necessary to perform automatic calibration and leveling of the center of gravity before starting the simulation device 100, so that the overall center of gravity of the user, the seat 31 and the rotating frame 21 is on the same vertical line as the rotation center of gravity of the simulation device 100. After the center of gravity is automatically calibrated and leveled, the power utilization of the simulation device 100 can be maximized during operation, thereby achieving the purpose of energy conservation, emission reduction and reducing the overall cost of the system.
