AR Interface Delay Compensation via Predictive Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Human perception and response delays significantly impact the effectiveness of controlling remote devices, particularly in applications like drone control, where biological compensation mechanisms like the flash-drag effect are insufficient for modern speeds and non-biological data processing.
Innovation Solution
Implementing digital signal processing to predict the trajectory and position of moving objects, adjusting visual data presentation to compensate for delays, and modifying human responses to account for encryption, processing, and transmission times, thereby enabling instantaneous-like control of remote devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data is transmitted over long distances via satellite and processed through multiple systems, then the range and capability of remote control is improved, but the delay in perception and response time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by predicting the future position of moving objects based on their current trajectory and speed. The AR interface proactively compensates for delays by showing where objects will be, not where they are, allowing operators to act on predicted states rather than reacting to past states after delays occur.
2Measurement precision
If the flash-drag effect is used to compensate for perception delays, then the response accuracy for naturally moving targets is improved, but it becomes insufficient for modern high-speed targets and non-biological data processing
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameters of visual presentation by dynamically adjusting the predicted position of objects based on multiple factors including speed, trajectory, and calculated delay times. Rather than relying on fixed biological compensation, the system mathematically models and adjusts visual feedback to account for specific operational parameters of each target and communication channel.
3Reliability
If visual data is processed and encrypted through multiple systems, then the security and reliability of control is improved, but the processing time and presentation delay increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the actual position of objects and comparing it with predicted positions. The AR interface uses this feedback loop to refine delay compensation calculations in real-time, adjusting the predicted position display based on actual object behavior and system performance, thereby optimizing the balance between security processing and response accuracy.

AI summary
Systems, devices and methods for controlling remote devices by modification of visual data prior to presentation to a person in order to make the person's response effectively the same as if the person were responding to data transmitted, processed and acted on instantaneously are disclosed. The systems, devices and methods advantageously minimize or eliminate the risks caused by a human response to data that has been delayed in transmission, processing and presentation. In an embodiment, a person controlling a remote device using an augmented reality interface is able to control the device based on predicted positions of an object at the time action is taken, thereby advantageously compensating for delays in receiving data, acting on such data and transmitting instructions or a response to the remote device.
