Context-Aware AR Experience Selection for Physical Environment Fit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users are often unaware of suitable augmented reality (AR) experiences available through messaging clients due to their physical environment lacking required aspects, leading to frustration and missed opportunities for engaging with relevant AR content.
Innovation Solution
An AR experience selection system automatically selects AR experiences based on the physical environment of the user device, using trigger events like co-location or camera scanning to identify suitable AR experiences and generate user interfaces for engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users manually browse available AR experiences, then they can discover AR content, but they may not find suitable experiences due to lack of awareness of environmental requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the physical environment using camera scanning and selects appropriate AR experiences without requiring manual user input. The messaging client autonomously determines suitability based on detected objects, locations, or environmental conditions, eliminating the need for users to manually browse or specify preferences.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs environmental scanning and AR experience selection in advance before the user needs to engage with AR content. By pre-determining suitable experiences based on the current physical context, the system prepares and presents appropriate options proactively rather than reactively.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system provides all available AR experiences regardless of environment, then users have more choices, but many experiences will be unsuitable for the current physical context
Solution Approach 1:
The system tailors AR experience recommendations to the specific local physical environment detected by the camera. Instead of presenting a uniform list of all available experiences, the system filters and selects experiences that are locally appropriate based on detected objects, locations, or environmental conditions, ensuring high suitability for the immediate context.
3Ease of operation
If the system requires manual selection of AR experiences, then users have control over choices, but users may not know which experiences are available or suitable
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the physical environment through camera scanning and provides real-time feedback by presenting AR experience options that are currently suitable based on detected conditions. This feedback loop ensures users receive relevant information about available experiences without needing to manually search or understand complex availability criteria.
Data Source
AI summary
The users' experience of engaging with augmented reality (AR) technology that permits users to interact with their environment and with each other is enhanced by automatically selecting an AR experience that is suitable for use given the physical environment of the user. The physical environment of the user is the physical environment of the user's computing device. The physical environment may include objects and/or conditions present in close proximity to the user's computing device, such as other humans, animals, and smart devices.
