Augmented Reality Vehicle Interior Object Placement Simulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in determining how items fit together within a vehicle's interior space, as available information does not account for the characteristics of the items or the space, making it difficult to accurately assess transportation needs.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses camera images to generate a three-dimensional mapping of the interior space and objects, determining their measurements and characteristics, and simulates their placement through augmented reality presentations, providing users with optimal arrangement steps based on user preferences and object characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users rely on basic item measurements and specifications, then information availability is improved, but the ability to determine actual fit and spatial arrangement deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates virtual copies of physical objects and the interior space through photogrammetry. Multiple images are processed to generate three-dimensional mappings that replicate the actual geometry of the vehicle interior and the objects to be placed, enabling accurate virtual placement simulations without physical trial-and-error
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an augmented reality intermediary layer that overlays virtual objects onto the real interior space. This intermediary representation allows users to visualize how objects will fit together in three-dimensional space, bridging the gap between two-dimensional specifications and three-dimensional reality
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive object characteristics and spatial mappings are processed, then positioning accuracy is improved, but computational complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary three-dimensional mapping of the interior space and object characterization before the actual placement task. By pre-processing the spatial environment and object properties, the system prepares all necessary geometric data in advance, reducing real-time computational requirements during the placement simulation phase
Solution Approach 2:
The photogrammetry-based mapping system serves multiple functions: it captures the interior geometry, identifies placement surfaces, determines spatial constraints, and provides the foundation for augmented reality visualization. This multi-functional approach consolidates several processing tasks into a single comprehensive mapping procedure
