Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices for virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality do not adequately accommodate users with varying head sizes, leading to discomfort and instability during use.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a frame structure that includes adjustable side frames and a front frame, allowing for customizable fit through adjustable lengths and intervals, along with a display unit and control unit for enhanced wearing comfort and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the frame structure is fixed with standard dimensions, then the device is simple to manufacture and wear, but it cannot accommodate users with different head sizes, reducing wearing comfort and stability
Solution Approach 1:
The side frames are designed with adjustable length through telescopic structures, allowing the frame to dynamically adapt to different head sizes. The adjustable front frame interval also enables dynamic configuration. This dynamic adjustability resolves the contradiction by providing customization without requiring multiple different devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame is segmented into adjustable components including side frames with telescopic sections and a front frame with adjustable interval mechanisms. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of different parts to achieve optimal fit for various head sizes while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the side frames are made longer to accommodate larger heads, then adaptability improves, but the device becomes bulkier and less comfortable for smaller heads
Solution Approach 1:
The side frames incorporate telescopic structures that allow the length to be dynamically adjusted. When worn by users with larger heads, the side frames extend to provide adequate coverage. When worn by users with smaller heads, the side frames retract to maintain a compact, comfortable size. This dynamic length adjustment resolves the contradiction between accommodating range and compactness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the interval between side frames is fixed, then the structure is simple and stable, but it cannot be adjusted for different head widths, reducing adaptability
Solution Approach 1:
The front frame is designed with an adjustable interval mechanism that allows the distance between the left and right side frames to be dynamically modified. This enables the frame to adapt to different head widths while maintaining structural stability through secure locking mechanisms that hold the adjusted position firmly.
4Adaptability or versatility
If adjustable mechanisms are added to the frame, then adaptability improves, but the device complexity and number of parts increase
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable mechanisms are segmented into modular components distributed throughout the frame structure. Each adjustment mechanism is a self-contained unit with clear functions, making the overall system more manageable despite the increased number of parts. This modular segmentation helps organize the complexity while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable mechanisms are designed with universal features that allow a single component to serve multiple functions. For example, the telescopic side frames provide both length adjustment and structural support, while the adjustable front frame interval mechanism also serves as a mounting structure. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components.
