3D Preview Synchronization Between Content Creation and Rendering Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for generating and presenting content in three dimensions are limited by the two-dimensional display and graphics processing characteristics of electronic devices, making it difficult to provide accurate previews of three-dimensional content during the creation process.
Innovation Solution
A system where a first electronic device with a content creation application communicates with a second electronic device equipped with a three-dimensional graphic rendering application, allowing for the transfer and synchronization of three-dimensional data to display a three-dimensional preview of XR content, while concurrently updating a two-dimensional representation on the first device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If two-dimensional display and graphics processing are used for content preview, then device complexity is reduced, but manufacturing precision of the preview is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the preview functionality into two separate devices: a first electronic device for content creation and a second electronic device for three-dimensional preview rendering. This segmentation allows each device to specialize in its function, with the second device providing accurate 3D previews without requiring the first device to have complex 3D graphics processing capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary components including a communication link between devices, a preview shell application, and a preview agent application. These intermediaries facilitate data transfer and coordination between the content creation application and the three-dimensional preview application, enabling accurate previews without direct integration that would increase device complexity.
2Stability of the object's composition
If three-dimensional preview is displayed on the same device, then synchronization is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the content creation application on the first device from the three-dimensional preview application on the second device, the system achieves functional segmentation. The communication link between devices maintains synchronization while avoiding the need for a single device to handle both functions simultaneously, thus reducing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The preview shell and preview agent applications act as intermediaries that manage data exchange and synchronization between the two devices. These intermediary components handle the coordination overhead, allowing the system to maintain stable synchronization without requiring either device to have excessive complexity.
3Ease of operation
If two-dimensional representation is used for content creation, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from two-dimensional content creation on the first device to three-dimensional preview display on the second device. This dimensional change allows users to create content using simple 2D interfaces while viewing the complete three-dimensional result, thereby preserving all spatial and visual information that would be lost in purely two-dimensional representations.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication link and intermediary applications preserve complete three-dimensional data during transfer between devices. While the content creation interface remains two-dimensional for ease of operation, the intermediary components ensure that full 3D information is transmitted to the preview device, preventing any information loss.
Data Source
AI summary
Three-dimensional data can be synchronized between a first electronic device and a second electronic device. A content creation application may be running on the first electronic device and may utilize a data file describing a three-dimensional content item. A two-dimensional representation of the content item may be displayed on the first electronic device. A user may request to preview the two-dimensional representation of the content item in three-dimensions. The first electronic device may initiate a data transfer with the second electronic device. The three-dimensional data of the data file may be transferred, via a communication link, from the content creation of the first electronic device to a three-dimensional graphic rendering application at the second electronic device. The three-dimensional graphic rendering application may generate a preview of the content item in three-dimensions based on the received three-dimensional data.
