Artificial Reality Trigger System for Environmental Feature Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing artificial reality systems lack the ability to automatically detect environmental features and apply relevant effects without relying on dedicated input devices, leading to potential user distraction from irrelevant information and a less immersive experience.
Innovation Solution
A system that determines a set of candidate triggers based on environmental features, such as shapes, sounds, and wireless signals, and generates corresponding effects according to a predetermined policy, allowing for the automatic application of relevant information and enhancements to the artificial reality without the need for dedicated input devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If automatic detection of environmental features is implemented, then user experience and immersion are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The HMD device integrates multiple functions including environmental feature detection through cameras and microphones, trigger determination logic, and effect generation capabilities. This multi-functional approach allows the device to automatically adapt to environmental contexts without requiring separate dedicated input devices, thereby improving user experience while managing complexity through consolidation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic environmental feature detection and trigger determination without requiring user input through dedicated devices. The HMD autonomously captures images and audio, detects features, determines triggers, and applies effects, enabling the device to serve itself in the information gathering and processing tasks that enhance user immersion.
2Adaptability or versatility
If relevant information is automatically presented, then immersion is improved, but information overload and distraction may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different processing and presentation strategies to different detected features based on their relevance. Not all detected environmental features trigger effects - the system selectively applies triggers and effects only to features that are deemed relevant to the user's context and activity, thereby maintaining immersion without causing information overload or distraction from irrelevant data.
