Industrial Machine Display Switching Between AR and 3D Views
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices for industrial machines struggle to provide an intuitive representation, as they require manual switching between virtual three-dimensional computer graphics and augmented reality, and become ineffective when the camera does not face the machine or equipment.
Innovation Solution
A display device equipped with a camera, a display unit, and a selection unit that automatically switches between three-dimensional computer graphics and augmented reality displays based on the camera's orientation relative to the industrial machine and its peripherals, allowing for seamless transition between the two modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If augmented reality display is used to display industrial machine information, then intuitive understanding is improved, but the display becomes ineffective when the camera does not face the machine
Solution Approach 1:
The display mode dynamically switches between augmented reality and three-dimensional computer graphics based on camera detection results. When the camera faces the industrial machine, augmented reality display is activated; when it does not face the machine, three-dimensional computer graphics display is activated, ensuring continuous display effectiveness regardless of camera position
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the camera detection unit to determine whether the camera is facing the industrial machine. This feedback information is used by the control unit to automatically switch between display modes, ensuring the display remains effective under varying camera positions
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual switching between augmented reality and three-dimensional computer graphics is implemented, then display flexibility is improved, but operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display device performs automatic switching between augmented reality and three-dimensional computer graphics modes without requiring manual user input. The camera detection unit and control unit work together to automatically determine the appropriate display mode based on whether the camera is facing the industrial machine, eliminating the need for manual switching operations
