Live Communication UI States for Gaze-Based AR Session Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing user interfaces for managing live communication sessions in augmented and mixed reality environments are cumbersome, inefficient, and complex, leading to a significant cognitive burden on users and inefficient energy usage, particularly in battery-operated devices.
Innovation Solution
Implementing computer systems with improved interfaces that utilize gaze and gesture detection, spatial and non-spatial communication session transitions, and avatar editing, along with reduced-control display prominence, to enhance user interaction efficiency and reduce input requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional user interfaces are used for managing live communication sessions, then basic communication functionality is provided, but the interfaces become cumbersome and complex, creating significant cognitive burden on users
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is segmented into different states (first state with first controls, second state with second controls) that are displayed based on communication session conditions. This allows the system to present only relevant controls for the current situation, reducing perceived complexity while maintaining full functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The user interface dynamically transitions between different control sets based on whether a communication session is active. The system automatically adjusts the interface state to match the communication context, making the interface adaptive and context-aware rather than static and overly complex.
2Productivity
If multiple inputs are required to achieve desired outcomes in augmented reality environments, then precise control is achieved, but the number of inputs increases and energy consumption rises
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines when to display different control sets based on the communication session state, eliminating the need for users to manually trigger interface changes. This automatic adaptation reduces the number of inputs required while maintaining precise control over communication functions.
3Ease of operation
If detailed controls are always displayed for virtual objects, then user control precision is maintained, but the cognitive burden and time required for interaction increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system prepares and displays appropriate controls in advance based on the current communication state, so that when a user needs to perform an action, the necessary controls are already visible and accessible. This eliminates the need for users to navigate through multiple interface states to find the required controls.
