AR Platform Administrative Setup and Sensor Trigger Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current augmented reality (AR) technologies face challenges in efficiently managing and coordinating AR experiences, particularly in setting up and triggering AR experiences across multiple user devices, and validating AR content for quality and compatibility.
Innovation Solution
The development of an administrative user platform that allows administrators to set up AR experiences, map sensor input triggers to specific experiences, and facilitate multi-user interactions, along with an AR creation platform for content validation and catalog management, enabling geo-triggered and visual marker-based AR experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If an administrative user platform is implemented to manage AR experiences across multiple devices, then coordination and setup efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into distinct functional components: an administrative user platform for content creation and management, a validation platform for quality assurance, and multiple user devices for experience delivery. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall coordination efficiency while managing complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The administrative user platform acts as an intermediary between content creators and end users, providing centralized management of AR experiences, triggers, and mappings. This intermediary layer simplifies the interaction model by consolidating setup and coordination functions in a single platform, reducing the complexity burden on individual user devices.
2Reliability
If AR content validation is performed to ensure quality and compatibility, then content quality is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
AR content validation is performed as a preliminary action during the content creation and upload phase, before the AR experiences are deployed to user devices. The validation platform checks content quality, compatibility, and proper configuration in advance, ensuring high reliability when the content is eventually delivered. This preliminary validation prevents delays during actual AR experience delivery to users.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sensor input triggers are mapped to different AR experiences, then user interaction versatility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The administrative user platform provides universal functionality for managing multiple types of sensor input triggers (camera, microphone, accelerometer, etc.) through a unified interface and standardized mapping mechanism. This multi-functional approach allows diverse trigger types to be handled consistently, improving user interaction versatility while managing complexity through a universal management system rather than separate handling for each trigger type.

AI summary
The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for managing augmented reality. Some aspects of the present disclosure include systems and techniques for facilitating setup and creation of augmented reality experiences. One example method generally includes receiving, at a computing device, an indication of a sensor input trigger via an administrative user platform, receiving, at the computing device and via the administrative user platform, a mapping of the sensor input trigger to an AR experience to be displayed at one or more user devices upon detection of the sensor input trigger, and sending, to another computing device, an indication of the sensor input trigger and the mapping of the sensor input trigger to the AR experience.
