Solution Overview
Problem
Current augmented reality (AR) systems lack the ability to seamlessly transition and interact with data between 2D screens and 3D physical environments, limiting user experience and collaboration across different devices and locations.
Innovation Solution
The development of an AR/VR system that enables users to move data from 2D devices into a 3D physical environment using gestures, allowing multiple users to interact and share data regardless of their location, with features like cloud-based data management and synchronized data positioning across different physical spaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data is displayed on 2D screens, then device compatibility is maintained, but immersion and interaction capability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions data display from 2D screens to 3D physical environments by projecting digital content onto physical surfaces and objects in the real world. This dimensional change enables more immersive interaction while maintaining compatibility across devices through cloud-based synchronization of the 3D workspace state.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users access data from different locations, then collaboration is enabled, but data synchronization and position consistency become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements cloud-based synchronization that continuously tracks and updates the state and position of data elements across all user devices. When any user modifies or moves data in the 3D workspace, these changes are transmitted to the cloud platform, which then propagates the updates to all other connected users, ensuring real-time consistency and position accuracy across different locations.
3Ease of operation
If data is moved to 3D physical environment, then immersion and sharing capability are improved, but data management and positioning consistency become complex
Solution Approach 1:
The cloud-based platform serves as an intermediary that manages all data elements in the 3D workspace. It handles positioning, synchronization, and state management of data across multiple devices and locations, abstracting away the complexity from individual users while enabling seamless sharing and collaboration in the immersive 3D environment.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for saving and loading workspaces in augmented reality (AR) environments. An embodiment operates by receiving a selection of an AR meeting space to open in a current physical location, wherein AR meeting space was previously configured for a remote physical location different from the current physical location. A selection of an AR meeting space to open in a current physical location is received. An arrangement of one or more digital objects of the selected AR meeting space is determined. A current anchor area within the current physical location that corresponds to a remote anchor area of the remote physical location is identified. The arrangement of the one or more digital objects of the AR meeting space is modified in the current physical location based on an alignment of the current anchor area with the remote anchor area.
