Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional three-dimensional image display apparatuses cannot dynamically change the appearance of a real image, such as color or pattern, without replacing the object itself, and fail to interactively respond to external situations.
Innovation Solution
A three-dimensional image display apparatus comprising an optical system with concave mirrors and an image output device positioned to not block the light path, allowing for the variation of the real image by projecting images onto the object using projectors and utilizing a light transmitting section to form a real image in a separate space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an image output device is installed to vary the appearance of the real image, then the adaptability of the display apparatus is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The optical system is segmented into distinct functional components: the bol-matrix optical system for image formation and the image output device for appearance modification. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, enabling versatility without significantly complicating the overall system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The image output device acts as an intermediary component that modifies the appearance of the real image without interfering with the core bol-matrix optical path. This intermediary approach allows for adaptable display capabilities while maintaining the simplicity and effectiveness of the original optical system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the image output device is positioned to project images onto the object, then the ability to dynamically change appearance is improved, but the risk of blocking the optical path increases
Solution Approach 1:
The image output device is positioned to project images onto specific local areas of the object rather than covering the entire optical path. This localized projection approach enables dynamic appearance changes while minimizing interference with the overall light path and image formation process.
Solution Approach 2:
The image output device operates in a different spatial dimension or plane relative to the main optical path, allowing it to project images onto the object without blocking the light rays that form the real image. This dimensional separation resolves the conflict between appearance modification and optical path clearance.
