Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for representing digital objects in three-dimensional visual spaces, such as stereoscopic and holographic displays, often fail to provide user-friendly and interactive representations, especially for OSD parameters, as they lack dynamic classification and user customization, leading to fixed and unchangeable graphical characteristics.
Innovation Solution
A device and process that classify digital objects into specific classes based on type, interactivity, quality, and content, allowing for adaptive representation specifications in three-dimensional visual spaces, including stereoscopy, holography, and spatial audio, with user input for customizable OSD visualizations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If digital objects are represented in three-dimensional visual space with fixed positioning and orientation, then the representation is simple and stable, but the user freedom in positioning and orientation is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the representation of digital objects in three-dimensional visual space based on user interactions and contextual information. Digital objects can be repositioned, reoriented, and reconfigured on-the-fly rather than being fixed, allowing users to manipulate objects freely while the system adapts the spatial arrangement in real-time to maintain system coherence.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key parameters such as depth plane position, orientation angle, and spatial coordinates of digital objects based on user preferences and contextual requirements. By allowing continuous adjustment of these parameters rather than fixing them, the system provides users with freedom in positioning and orientation while managing complexity through parameterized control.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple different digital objects are represented simultaneously in three-dimensional visual space, then the information coverage is comprehensive, but the arrangement becomes complex and difficult to manage
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments digital objects into distinct categories or groups based on their type, function, or relevance. Each segment can be independently managed, positioned, and organized in the three-dimensional space. This segmentation allows multiple objects to coexist without creating overwhelming complexity, as users can interact with objects in manageable groups rather than as a monolithic set.
Solution Approach 2:
The system utilizes the third dimension (depth) to organize and arrange digital objects, creating layered spatial arrangements rather than confined two-dimensional layouts. By distributing objects across multiple depth planes and spatial zones, the system accommodates a larger quantity of objects while maintaining ease of access, as users can navigate through different spatial layers to find and interact with specific objects.
3Stability of the object's composition
If digital objects are arranged to be unequivocally positioned in three-dimensional visual space, then the spatial organization is clear and structured, but interactive accessibility and ease of handling are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic spatial organization where the stability of object positioning is maintained at the structural level (overall layout and spatial relationships remain coherent), but individual objects can be dynamically accessed, manipulated, and repositioned by users. This dynamic approach allows interactive accessibility without completely disrupting the spatial organization, as the system adapts to user actions while maintaining overall structural stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces intermediary mechanisms such as spatial navigation interfaces, selection indicators, and contextual menus that facilitate easy access to interactively handle objects without requiring direct manipulation of the underlying spatial organization. These intermediaries mediate between the stable spatial structure and user interaction needs, allowing users to access and manipulate objects easily while the overall spatial organization remains stable and structured.
4Adaptability or versatility
If OSD parameters are fixed for digital objects, then the system is simple to implement, but user customization and preference adaptation are not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows OSD parameters such as text size, color, position, font style, and transparency to be dynamically changed based on user preferences and contextual requirements. Rather than fixing these parameters, the system provides controls and interfaces for users to adjust them, and the system adapts the OSD representation in real-time. This parameter flexibility enables user customization while managing complexity through organized parameter management and contextual defaults.
