AR Avatar Matching for Remote Event Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current dating and social connection applications do not leverage augmented reality technology to facilitate matches and connections between users based on shared backgrounds and interests.
Innovation Solution
An audio-visual sharing system using AR technology allows users to create and share AR avatars, enabling remote participation and interaction in events, with features like GPS-based location, profile matching through hashtags, and transaction capabilities for audio-video streaming.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users physically attend events to connect with others, then face-to-face interaction quality is improved, but geographic mobility and accessibility are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates virtual copies (avatars) of users that can attend events remotely. The system captures real-time video and audio of the physical event and transmits it to remote users who interact through avatar representations, allowing them to participate without physically traveling to the event location.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system consisting of cameras, microphones, servers, and avatars that mediate between physical event attendees and remote participants. This intermediary infrastructure enables connection between users who are geographically separated by translating physical presence into virtual presence.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system supports multiple users capturing and streaming audio-video simultaneously, then user interaction capability is improved, but system complexity and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the multi-user streaming system into independent modular components: individual cameras capture separate video feeds, microphones capture separate audio feeds, and servers process each user's stream independently. This segmentation allows multiple users to participate simultaneously without requiring complex integrated processing of all streams at once.
Data Source
AI summary
An audio-visual sharing system has a first user with a mobile platform executing an application and coupled to an Internet network, a second user with a mobile platform executing the application and coupled to the Internet network, an Internet-connected server having a processor executing coded instructions, and coupled to a data repository, a first profile for the first user stored in the data repository; and a second profile for the second user stored in the data repository. The first user is present at an event capturing audio and video of proximate activity and streaming same to the server. The second user is not present at the event, but both the first and second mobile platforms receive an AR board display comprising avatars for the users. The second user is enabled to interact with the first user's avatar to share the audio and video streamed by the first user.
