Adaptive Content Presentation Engine for Optical See-Through Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Devices with optical see-through displays face challenges in presenting content effectively in environments with high visual or aural noise, as the additive nature of these displays can make it difficult for users to perceive visual or auditory content.
Innovation Solution
A content presentation engine that selects presentation modes based on environmental data, converting visual content to audio in noisy visual environments and audio to text in noisy auditory environments, and using haptic responses in extremely noisy conditions to ensure content is conveyed effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If visual content is presented on optical see-through displays in high visual noise environments, then the additive display capability is utilized, but user perception of content deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces visual presentation with auditory presentation by substituting the display mechanism with audio output. When visual noise is detected exceeding thresholds, the content delivery system switches from optical see-through display to audio playback, eliminating the harmful visual interference effect.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the presentation parameter from visual mode to audio mode based on environmental conditions. By detecting visual noise levels and dynamically adjusting the content delivery parameter (visual vs. audio presentation), the system adapts to environmental conditions and maintains effective content communication.
2Adaptability or versatility
If auditory content is presented in high aural noise environments, then the audio output is utilized, but user perception of content deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces auditory presentation with visual or haptic presentation by substituting the audio output mechanism with display or haptic feedback. When aural noise is detected exceeding thresholds, the content delivery system switches from audio playback to visual display or haptic responses, eliminating the harmful aural interference effect.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the presentation parameter from audio mode to visual or haptic mode based on environmental conditions. By detecting aural noise levels and dynamically adjusting the content delivery parameter (audio vs. visual/haptic presentation), the system adapts to environmental conditions and maintains effective content communication.
3Reliability
If multiple presentation modes are implemented to adapt to environmental conditions, then content perception reliability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system integrates multiple presentation capabilities (visual display, audio output, haptic feedback) into a single universal content delivery platform. By making the device multi-functional with respect to content presentation, it can reliably adapt to various environmental conditions while managing complexity through unified control architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically switches between different presentation modes based on real-time environmental sensing and analysis. The content delivery mechanism transitions from static single-mode presentation to dynamic multi-mode presentation, adjusting the active presentation channel based on detected environmental conditions to maintain reliable content perception.
