AR Display Overlaying Object Position via Image Sensor
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for displaying information in environments, such as augmented reality and head-up displays, fail to dynamically incorporate real-time positional data of objects and devices, limiting their effectiveness in navigation and information retrieval.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses an image sensor to capture real-time camera images, determines the position of objects within the image, and overlays relevant information onto the image display, allowing for dynamic updates based on the object's location and movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If information is stored in the device in advance (as in known augmented reality and HUD systems), then the device can display auxiliary information, but the information cannot dynamically reflect real-time position or environmental changes
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by having objects transmit their position information in advance, and by pre-establishing the communication infrastructure. This allows the display device to simply receive and process incoming data without complex real-time computation, resolving the contradiction between dynamic adaptability and system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously receiving position information from objects and updating the display accordingly. The display device monitors object positions and automatically adjusts the displayed information, creating a closed-loop system that achieves dynamic adaptability without requiring complex centralized control
2Measurement precision
If a person carries a map and positioning receiver to find a target, then navigation capability is improved, but the user becomes puzzled about direction and distance without additional information
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the positioning receiver functionality directly into the display device, combining map display, position reception, and target identification into a single integrated system. This eliminates the need for separate devices and provides intuitive visual guidance showing direction and distance to targets, greatly improving ease of operation while maintaining measurement precision
Solution Approach 2:
The display device acts as an intermediary that processes raw position data from the positioning receiver and object position information, then presents this information in an intuitive visual format. This intermediary function translates complex coordinate data into simple directional guidance, making navigation easy while maintaining accurate target location information
3Loss of information
If persons try to find each other by calling with a mobile phone, then location information can be obtained, but this requires availability of mobile phone, telephone number information, and causes phone call costs
Solution Approach 1:
Objects (including persons) automatically transmit their position information without requiring active communication requests. The display device simply receives this self-transmitted information, eliminating the need for phone calls, telephone numbers, and manual information exchange. This self-service approach provides continuous location information availability while dramatically reducing communication complexity and costs
Data Source
AI summary
