Augmented Reality Anamorphosis for Perspective-Based Media Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality systems fail to effectively present anamorphic media that are only viewable from specific perspectives, lacking the ability to dynamically adjust and display such media based on the user's location and perspective within a space.
Innovation Solution
Anamorphosis systems identify space features, determine device perspective, retrieve and apply anamorphic media based on location, and dynamically adjust display to ensure visibility from a specified perspective.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If augmented reality systems display media without perspective-based filtering, then media is accessible to all users, but anamorphic media cannot be properly displayed from unintended perspectives
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts media display based on the user's real-time perspective and location within the space. The augmented reality system determines the user's viewpoint and selectively displays anamorphic media only when the user is positioned at the intended viewing location, ensuring proper display orientation and perspective.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different display characteristics to different spatial locations. By identifying the user's specific location and perspective within the three-dimensional space, the system enables anamorphic media to be displayed with correct orientation and distortion only at the intended viewing position, while filtering out the media from other locations.
2Measurement precision
If the system continuously monitors and adjusts display based on user perspective, then anamorphic media visibility is optimized, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The augmented reality system integrates multiple functions into a unified framework: it simultaneously performs spatial mapping, user location tracking, perspective determination, and selective media display. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise be separate complex systems into a single coordinated operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the user's position and perspective in real-time, using this feedback information to dynamically adjust media display. The augmented reality system receives data about user movement and perspective changes, processes this information, and automatically updates which media are displayed and how they are displayed, creating a closed-loop control system.

AI summary
Systems, methods, devices, and media for anamorphosis systems to generate and cause display of anamorphic media are disclosed. In one embodiment, an anamorphosis system is configured to identify a set of features of a space, determine relative positions of the set of features, determine a perspective of the mobile device within the space based on the relative positions of the set of features, retrieve anamorphic media based on the location of the mobile device, and apply the anamorphic media to a presentation of the space at the mobile device. The anamorphic media may include media items such as images and videos, configured such that the media items are only visible from one or more specified perspectives. The anamorphic media may include a stylized text string projected onto surfaces of a space such that the stylized text string is correctly displayed when viewed through a user device from a specified perspective.
