Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If 3D scanning and 3D modeling technologies are used to display 3D artwork on 2D devices, then users can view 3D art, sculpture, and textured paintings on display devices, but the viewing experience lacks immersion and interactivity without additional gear like VR headsets
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects user position and movement using sensors, and autonomously adjusts the displayed view without requiring manual input from the user. The processor continuously monitors sensor data and dynamically changes the image aspect and view angle based on detected user movement, making the interaction seamless and intuitive.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces physical VR headsets and mechanical 3D display systems with a software-based solution that uses sensor data and image processing algorithms. Instead of requiring users to wear specialized equipment, the system uses standard display devices combined with sensor input to create immersive 3D viewing experiences through digital manipulation of image aspects and view angles.
2Adaptability or versatility
If sensors and processors are used to detect user position and apply temporal smoothing to movement data, then the system can dynamically change image aspects for immersive viewing, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses standard sensors and processors that can perform multiple functions - detecting user position, tracking movement, and controlling display output - rather than requiring specialized dedicated components for each function. The same processor that handles normal display operations also processes sensor data and adjusts image aspects, reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces temporal smoothing as an intermediary processing step between raw sensor data and view index selection. This smoothing algorithm acts as a mediator that filters noisy movement data and produces stable control signals, simplifying the overall control architecture by preventing direct coupling between erratic sensor input and display output changes.
3Speed
If the system continuously updates the aspect of the image based on user movement without temporal smoothing, then the response is immediate, but the movement data may be noisy and cause jittery viewing experience
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies temporal smoothing to movement data in advance before using it to select view indices. This preliminary processing of sensor data filters out noise and stabilizes the control signals, ensuring that subsequent view changes are smooth and reliable while maintaining responsive updating of the displayed image aspect.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements continuous temporal smoothing and gradual view transitions instead of abrupt changes. The system maintains continuous updating of the image aspect based on smoothed movement data, creating a seamless viewing experience where the transition between different views is continuous and free from jitter, while still responding promptly to user movement.
