AR Feature Overlay for Non-AR Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Viewers without augmented reality (AR) devices miss enhanced features during shared media experiences, as these features are not accessible on non-AR displays, leading to a limited media viewing experience.
Innovation Solution
A media guidance application collects and analyzes AR features from AR devices, identifying common elements and interactions, and overlays them on non-AR displays to enhance the viewing experience for users without AR devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If augmented reality features are provided only to AR device users, then the AR user experience is enhanced with personalized content and interactions, but non-AR users miss out on these enhancements and have a limited viewing experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the AR device as an intermediary to capture and transmit enhanced features, additional information, and interactions to the non-AR display. The system mediates between the AR environment and the base media display, allowing non-AR users to access enhanced content through the non-AR display without requiring AR hardware
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of the enhanced AR features and displays them on the non-AR display. By copying the enhanced elements (such as additional information, interactive features, and personalized content) from the AR environment and rendering them on the base display, the system enables non-AR users to experience the same enhancements without needing AR devices
2Ease of operation
If enhanced features are tailored to individual AR user preferences, then personalized user experience is improved, but non-AR users cannot access these personalized features
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the personalized AR features universal by enabling them to be accessed on both AR devices and non-AR displays. The system identifies common elements and interactions from multiple AR users and makes them available on the base media display, allowing the same personalized features to function across different device types
Solution Approach 2:
The non-AR display acts as an intermediary that receives and displays personalized features originally designed for AR devices. The system translates AR-specific enhanced elements into a format suitable for non-AR displays while preserving the personalized nature of the content
3Loss of information
If AR displays provide additional information and interactive elements, then the AR viewing experience is enhanced, but the complexity of the display system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display system into two layers: the base media display and the overlaid enhanced features. By separating the fundamental media content from the enhanced AR elements and allowing them to be independently controlled and displayed, the system manages complexity while providing comprehensive information
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods are provided for generating an augmented reality display for users of augmented reality devices. Features provided in the AR displays may be used to update a non-augmented reality display. In addition, interactions in the AR displays may also be incorporated into the non-augmented reality display.
