Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality (AR) technologies struggle with seamless transitions between real and virtual environments, leading to a strong sense of disconnection and reduced user immersion.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for presenting a scenario switching entry, allowing a first scenario to be displayed outside the entry and a second scenario within it, enhancing interaction by aligning virtual and real environments based on user position and camera direction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional AR technology is used to switch between real and virtual environments, then scenario switching functionality is achieved, but user immersion is reduced due to strong sense of disconnection
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into two distinct regions: a first area for displaying the real-world scenario and a second area for displaying the virtual scenario. This segmentation allows users to simultaneously view both real and virtual content, reducing the disconnection sensation during transitions while maintaining versatile scenario switching capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual scenario display is nested within the overall AR interface structure, with the scenario switching entry positioned in a specific region while the real-world scenario occupies the surrounding area. This nested arrangement creates a seamless integration where virtual content is embedded within the context of the real environment, enhancing user immersion.
2Reliability
If seamless transitions between real and virtual environments are implemented, then user immersion is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the display configuration based on user interaction with the scenario switching entry. When the entry is selected, the display transitions from showing only the real-world scenario to simultaneously showing both real and virtual scenarios in designated areas. This dynamic behavior achieves seamless transitions that enhance immersion without requiring permanently complex system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The scenario switching entry acts as an intermediary element that mediates between the real-world scenario display and the virtual scenario display. By providing this intermediate interface, the system manages the complexity of environment switching while maintaining smooth transitions that improve user immersion.
3Ease of operation
If spatial and temporal portal models are used to enrich user experience, then user interaction is improved, but computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system prepares and pre-processes spatial and temporal portal model data in advance, organizing the computational requirements before actual user interaction occurs. This preliminary action reduces the real-time computational burden during scenario switching, allowing enriched user interaction experience without excessive energy consumption during critical moments.
