Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a virtual object is displayed in a fixed state regardless of motion state of real object, then the display system is simple, but it becomes difficult to intuitively know the motion state of the real object
Solution Approach 1:
The virtual object's display state is dynamically adjusted based on the detected motion state of the real object. The display control unit changes the virtual object's characteristics (position, size, shape, color) according to motion parameters such as position, posture, speed, and acceleration, making the system adaptive rather than static.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the motion state of the real object is continuously detected, processed, and used to adjust the virtual object's display characteristics. This closed-loop control ensures that the virtual display accurately reflects the real object's motion state.
2Ease of operation
If virtual object display is adjusted according to motion state, then motion state can be intuitively known, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information processing is divided into distinct functional modules: a detection unit for acquiring motion state parameters, a processing unit for analyzing the parameters, and a display control unit for adjusting virtual object characteristics. This segmentation simplifies the overall complexity by organizing tasks into manageable components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that translates complex motion state data into simplified visual characteristics of the virtual object. This intermediary layer acts as a mediator between the raw sensor data and the final display output, making the information more intuitive for users.
3Loss of information
If multiple parameters of virtual object are changed according to motion state, then the visualization is more comprehensive, but the control system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The virtual object serves multiple functions simultaneously: it represents the real object's position, indicates its motion state, and provides visual feedback about speed and acceleration. By making the virtual object multi-functional, the system comprehensively visualizes motion information without requiring separate indicators for each parameter.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes multiple parameters of the virtual object (position, size, shape, color) to represent different aspects of the real object's motion state. Each parameter change corresponds to a specific motion characteristic, allowing comprehensive visualization through coordinated parameter adjustments.
