3D Cluster Driver Profile Matching for Visual Fatigue Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Stereo 3D content often causes visual fatigue and discomfort due to differences in how images are projected for each eye, leading to issues like vertigo, which existing technologies have not adequately addressed.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that includes a 3D cluster with a camera, 3D panel, controller, memory, and CAN communication section, which interfaces with a memory seat to allow drivers to set and manage 3D effects or switch to 2D mode, using a driver setting menu to customize and store preferred settings for individual drivers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If stereo 3D content is projected using binocular cure to create depth effect, then the driver can feel immersion and three-dimensional visualization, but the driver experiences visual fatigue and vertigo due to differences in image projection methods
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts 3D effect settings based on driver feedback and operating conditions. The controller modifies 3D parameters in real-time, allowing the system to adapt between 2D and 3D modes, and adjust 3D intensity levels to minimize visual fatigue while maintaining immersion capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key parameters of 3D image projection including interocular distance, convergence point, and image brightness ratios between left and right eyes. By adjusting these parameters based on driver preferences and fatigue levels, the system optimizes the 3D effect to reduce visual strain while preserving depth perception benefits.
2Ease of operation
If 3D effect settings are customized for individual drivers, then driver comfort and preference satisfaction improve, but system complexity increases due to multiple settings and memory management
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages 3D effect settings by storing driver preferences in memory associated with specific driver identifiers. When a driver operates the vehicle, the system automatically retrieves and applies their preferred 3D settings without requiring manual reconfiguration, enabling easy customization while minimizing operational complexity through automated profile management.
Solution Approach 2:
The memory system serves multiple functions: storing driver identification information, maintaining 3D effect preferences, and managing 2D/3D mode selections. This multi-functional approach consolidates what could be separate complex systems into a unified settings management architecture, reducing overall system complexity while enabling personalized customization.
3Extent of automation
If 3D cluster interfaces with memory seat to automatically apply driver settings, then convenience and personalization improve, but device complexity and communication requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the existing memory seat as an intermediary carrier for 3D effect settings. Instead of requiring direct complex communication between 3D cluster and driver profiles, the memory seat serves as a simple storage medium that holds driver identification and preference data. This intermediary approach enables automatic settings application by leveraging already-present hardware in the vehicle, reducing the need for additional complex communication infrastructure.

AI summary
A system for setting a three-dimensional (3D) effect includes a memory seat for transmitting and receiving memory seat information of a driver and a 3D cluster for matching the memory seat information and 3D effect setting information and allowing the driver to set the 3D effect or set a two-dimension (2D) mode.
