Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional content creation methods are used for AR/VR devices, then content can be created with existing tools, but the cost and complexity of creation are high and require extensive programming skills
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying by creating virtual copies of physical objects through 3D scanning and digital modeling. The system captures geometric data from physical objects and creates accurate virtual representations that can be used in AR/VR environments, eliminating the need for manual modeling and reducing content creation complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical content creation processes (manual 3D modeling, programming) with automated computational systems. The system automatically processes scanned geometric data, generates mesh models, and creates interactive content without requiring extensive programming skills, thus reducing both cost and complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If extensive programming skills are required for content creation, then content can be highly customized, but the time consumption and skill barrier increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling non-programmers to create AR/VR content through intuitive tools. The system allows users to import scanned objects, configure parameters through graphical interfaces, and automatically generates interactive content without requiring programming knowledge, dramatically reducing both time and skill requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the content creation process into distinct modular steps: object scanning, geometric processing, mesh generation, and scene assembly. Each step can be performed independently with automated processing, allowing users to focus on high-level design decisions rather than low-level implementation details, thus reducing time consumption while maintaining customization
3Reliability
If AR/VR content is created for specific devices, then optimization for those devices is achieved, but the content cannot be translated or published across different devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a device-agnostic content format based on standardized geometric data structures. The system generates content using universal coordinate systems and data formats that can be rendered across different AR/VR devices, enabling cross-device compatibility while maintaining optimization through adaptive rendering techniques
4Productivity
If user-interaction data is not analyzed, then system performance is maintained, but troubleshooting and personalization opportunities are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by systematically collecting and analyzing user interaction data from AR/VR sessions. The system tracks user actions, eye movements, and interaction patterns to provide insights for troubleshooting technical issues and personalizing content delivery, transforming raw data into actionable information without compromising system performance
