Azimuth Dial for Virtual Scene Direction Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video game technologies lack effective display of azimuth information in virtual scenes, leading to low display efficiency and reference value, making it difficult for users to determine the moving direction of virtual objects.
Innovation Solution
A method is introduced to display a target horizontal bar dial in the virtual scene, which includes obtaining the orientation azimuth of a virtual object and symmetrically distributing adjacent azimuths to create a visual representation of the azimuth situation, improving the display efficiency and reference value.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If coordinate positions are displayed on the screen, then the user can determine the position of virtual objects, but the display efficiency and reference value for determining azimuth and moving direction are low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an azimuth dial as an intermediary visual element between the coordinate system and the user's perception. This dial translates complex coordinate data into an intuitive angular representation, serving as a mediator that directly indicates azimuth information without requiring the user to calculate it from coordinates.
Solution Approach 2:
The azimuth dial creates a visual copy or representation of the angular relationship between virtual objects and the user's viewpoint. Instead of displaying raw coordinate data, the system generates a simplified visual model (the dial) that preserves the essential angular information in an easily interpretable format.
2Reliability
If only coordinate positions are provided, then the display information is minimal, but the reference value for determining moving direction is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display information into two complementary components: the existing coordinate position display and the newly added azimuth dial. This segmentation allows each component to serve its specific function - coordinates provide precise location data while the azimuth dial provides directional reference - without redundancy or information loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The azimuth dial serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays azimuth information, provides reference for determining moving direction, and complements the coordinate display. This multi-functionality increases the reference value without requiring separate dedicated displays for each function.

AI summary
The present disclosure describes methods, devices, and storage medium for displaying an azimuth in a virtual scene, which belongs to the field of computer technologies. The method includes obtaining, by a device, an orientation azimuth of a virtual object in a virtual scene. The device includes a memory storing instructions and a processor in communication with the memory. The method further includes obtaining, by the device, a plurality of azimuths, angles between the plurality of azimuths and the orientation azimuth being no larger than a preset angle, the plurality of azimuths comprising first azimuths and second azimuths. The method also includes symmetrically distributing, by the device, the first azimuths and the second azimuths centered and on two sides of the orientation azimuth to obtain a target horizontal bar dial; and displaying, by the device, the target horizontal bar dial in a visual field image of the virtual object.
