Adjustable Control Unit for VR Display Image Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices for virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) do not allow for optimal image positioning, leading to discomfort for users.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a frame and control unit that adjusts the image location on an optical display unit, using guide lenses and housing protrusions to pivot and rotate, allowing the image to be positioned more comfortably for the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the control unit location is fixed on the frame, then the device structure is simple, but the image position cannot be adjusted for user comfort
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit is designed with movable components including a housing protrusion that slides within a frame guide hole, and a control unit protrusion that slides within a housing guide hole. These dynamic elements allow the control unit to pivot and rotate while maintaining the guide lens positioned at the incident area, enabling image position adjustment without fixed mounting
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit is divided into separate functional components: the housing containing the guide lens, the control unit module with the image source, and guide protrusions. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of the control unit's angular position while maintaining proper optical alignment, resolving the contradiction between adjustability and structural simplicity
2Adaptability or versatility
If the control unit is made adjustable to change image location, then user comfort is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit incorporates dynamic adjustment mechanisms where the housing protrusion moves along a curved frame guide hole and the control unit protrusion moves along a curved housing guide hole. This enables the control unit to pivot and rotate to different angular positions, allowing the image location to be adjusted adaptively while maintaining a relatively compact structure
Solution Approach 2:
The guide lens acts as an intermediary element that maintains proper optical alignment between the control unit and the optical display unit's incident area. The guide lens ensures that even as the control unit pivots and rotates, the image remains properly focused and positioned, enabling adaptability without proportionally increasing overall device complexity
