Augmented Reality Virtual Dashboard for Uninterrupted Display Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computer system displays face challenges in maintaining uninterrupted user interaction when additional content needs to be displayed, as it requires reducing the size of the display area or overlaying content, which can interrupt the original content being viewed.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of an augmented reality display that includes a virtual dashboard adjacent to and outside certain features of the physical computer system display, allowing for the generation of additional content without reducing the original content's display area, using modules to identify features, determine boundaries, and generate customized content for the virtual dashboard.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If additional content is displayed on the existing computer system display, then information quantity increases, but user interaction with original content is interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the display from two-dimensional physical screen space into three-dimensional virtual space using augmented reality technology. Virtual displays are projected into the environment around the user, allowing multiple content areas to coexist without overlapping or competing for the same physical display real estate, thus maintaining uninterrupted interaction with original content while increasing information quantity
2Loss of information
If display area is reduced to show additional content, then information quantity increases, but original content quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By projecting virtual displays into three-dimensional space around the user rather than confining all content to a single two-dimensional screen, the system allows each display area to maintain its full resolution and quality without needing to reduce the physical display area. Multiple virtual monitors can be positioned at different locations and orientations in the user's environment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the display system into multiple independent virtual display areas that can be positioned and configured separately in three-dimensional space. Each virtual display functions as an independent segment with its own content and display parameters, allowing original content to maintain its full display area and quality while additional content is shown in separate virtual segments
3Loss of information
If content is overlaid on original display, then information quantity increases, but original content visibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of overlaying additional content on top of original display content in the same two-dimensional plane, the patent projects virtual displays into three-dimensional space at different positions and orientations around the user. This spatial separation ensures that virtual content does not occlude or reduce the visibility of original content on the physical display, as they occupy different spatial zones

AI summary
In some examples, with respect to augmented reality based virtual dashboard implementation, features of a physical computer system display may be identified. Based on the identified features of the physical computer system display, boundaries of a virtual dashboard may be determined. Based on the determined boundaries of the virtual dashboard, an augmented reality display may be generated for an augmented reality device. The augmented reality display may include a view of the physical computer system display and may further include a virtual reality display of the virtual dashboard adjacent to and outside of the identified features of the physical computer system display. The virtual dashboard may include content displayed thereon.
