Augmented Reality Overlay for Information Context
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional two-dimensional graphical user interfaces limit the amount of information displayed and create a disconnect between information and the real world environment, requiring users to interact with multiple windows or screens, which is inefficient and insecure.
Innovation Solution
An augmented reality system with a user device that overlays virtual objects onto real scenes in real-time, using a virtual assessment engine and overlay engine to authenticate users, monitor actions, and provide interactive feedback on account information as virtual objects, enhancing information visualization and security through token-based data transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional two-dimensional graphical user interfaces are used to display information, then the system is simple to implement, but the amount of information that can be seen is limited and there is a disconnect from the real world environment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional graphical user interfaces to three-dimensional augmented reality displays that overlay virtual objects onto the real world. This dimensional change allows users to view vast amounts of information simultaneously in the context of their physical environment, eliminating the limitation of screen size while maintaining system simplicity through hardware-based display capabilities.
2Loss of information
If multiple windows or screens are used to display all information, then complete information is available, but user interaction becomes complex and disconnected from the real world
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple information displays into a single unified augmented reality view where virtual objects representing different data sets are overlaid onto the real world environment. This consolidation allows users to access complete information through natural gestures and voice commands rather than navigating multiple windows or screens, significantly improving ease of operation while maintaining information completeness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional graphical user interfaces are used, then the system is easy to implement, but there is a disconnect between information presentation and the real world environment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an augmented reality display system that serves multiple functions simultaneously: displaying information, recognizing user gestures, processing voice commands, and overlaying virtual objects onto the real world environment. This multi-functional approach enables seamless integration with the real world while managing system complexity through unified hardware and software architecture that handles multiple tasks through a single system.
Data Source
AI summary
An augmented reality system that includes an augmented reality user device. The augmented reality user device includes display for overlaying virtual objects onto tangible objects in a real scene and a memory storing scenarios for a user. The augmented reality user device includes a processor implementing a virtual assessment engine and a virtual overlay engine. The virtual assessment engine identifies a user identifier for the user and executes a scenario for the user. The virtual assessment engine identifies actions performed by the user related to the scenario. The virtual assessment engine sends a token with the user identifier and user action information to a remote server and receives information for the user from the server. The virtual overlay engine presents the information as virtual objects overlaid with the real scene.
