Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If gesture detection is performed using a depth camera, then gesture control functionality is achieved, but position accuracy deteriorates due to distance and angle differences between camera and user eye

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegesture control functionalityVSAvoidgesture position accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system calculates position deviation based on distance and angle parameters between the depth camera and user eye, then applies correction to the detected gesture position. This transforms the raw detection parameters into corrected coordinates that align with the user's visual perspective, resolving the accuracy issue while maintaining ease of operation.
