Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The conventional process for designing augmented reality effects is time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring multiple iterations between artists and programmers to fine-tune the desired effect, and is not adaptable across different display devices with varying aspect ratios and resolutions.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method using an augmented reality design tool that allows users to add a voice-command module to an AR effect, with intent types and slots associated with entities, enabling the creation of executable programs that process voice utterances to generate corresponding AR effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the conventional iterative design process is used between artists and programmers, then the AR effect can be fine-tuned to achieve desired visual quality, but the design time and labor intensity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by allowing creators to directly configure voice command modules and associate them with AR objects through a visual interface, eliminating the need for programmer intervention in the design iteration process. The automatic generation of executable programs from visual configurations further supports self-service by translating designer intent into functional code without manual programming.
Solution Approach 2:
The design process is segmented into independent, reusable components including voice command modules, slots, entities, and AR objects. Each component can be configured and tested independently, then assembled into the final AR effect. This modular approach reduces the complexity of iterative design by allowing targeted modifications without requiring complete redesign cycles.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple iterations of design and modification are performed to fine-tune the AR effect, then the desired effect quality is achieved, but the labor intensity increases due to coordination between different persons
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the roles of artist and programmer into a single unified interface. The visual editor allows creators to both design AR objects and configure their behavior through voice command associations without requiring separate programming steps. This consolidation eliminates the coordination overhead between different persons while maintaining design quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The voice command module acts as an intermediary between user input and AR object behavior. By defining slots and entities in the visual interface, the system creates an intermediate layer that automatically generates the necessary code logic, reducing the complexity of direct artist-programmer coordination while achieving fine-tuned effects.
3Adaptability or versatility
If voice command modules with slots and entities are integrated into the AR effect design, then the adaptability across different display devices improves, but the initial design complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The voice command module is designed as a universal component that can be applied to any AR object type and configured for different display devices through the same visual interface. Slots and entities provide a standardized mechanism for handling various input types, making the module adaptable across diverse devices without requiring device-specific customization logic.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-defining slot types and entity associations in the visual configuration stage. This advance setup of the voice command structure allows the same module to adapt to different devices and contexts without requiring complex integration work at deployment time, reducing the perceived complexity for the creator.

AI summary
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, through a user interface (UI) of an artificial-reality (AR) design tool, a selection of a configurable interface element to place the AR design tool and the UI into a configure phase to configure an AR effect. The computer-implemented method further includes receiving, through the UI of the AR design tool after the AR design tool and the UI are placed into the configure phase in response to selecting the configurable interface element, instructions to add a voice-command module to the AR effect. The computer-implemented method further includes configuring, while the AR design tool and the UI are placed into the configure phase, one or more parameters of the voice-command module. The computer-implemented method further includes generating the AR effect utilizing a particular voice command at runtime based on configured one or more parameters of the voice-command module.
