Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If object transfer between augmented reality environments is enabled, then collaboration and utility are enhanced, but system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
A processing resource acts as an intermediary between multiple augmented reality environments, receiving object transfer requests, generating rendering data, and coordinating the transfer process. This mediator approach enables collaboration across environments without requiring each environment to directly manage complex transfer protocols, thus enhancing adaptability while managing system complexity through centralized coordination.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing resource provides multi-functional capabilities by handling object identification, rendering data generation, transfer coordination, and environment management within a single system component. This universal approach allows the system to support multiple object types and transfer scenarios without requiring separate specialized systems for each function.
2Measurement precision
If object scanning and rendering data generation are performed, then object transfer accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
Object scanning and rendering data generation are performed in advance before the actual transfer occurs. The processing resource pre-processes objects by scanning them and generating their rendering data, so that when a transfer request is received, the data is already prepared and ready for immediate transmission, thus improving identification accuracy while minimizing processing time during the actual transfer operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple augmented reality environments are interconnected, then sharing capability is enhanced, but system reliability and error propagation risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The processing resource serves as a reliable intermediary that manages all interconnections between augmented reality environments. It validates transfer requests, ensures proper rendering data generation, and coordinates the transfer process, thereby enabling enhanced sharing capability while maintaining system reliability through centralized control and error prevention mechanisms.
