Blockchain Virtual Objects for AR Wear and Ownership Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional virtual digital objects, such as NFTs, lack the ability to be worn or used to decorate an individual's virtual environment, failing to resemble their real-world counterparts in terms of value and personal significance.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for generating and displaying virtual digital objects using blockchain technology, allowing users to create, adorn, and share digital objects like jewelry or art that can enhance augmented reality representations, with metadata for authenticity and ownership, and utilizing cryptocurrency for value representation and transaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional virtual digital objects such as NFTs are created, then ownership and authenticity are established, but the objects cannot be worn or used to decorate virtual environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the blockchain-based NFT with AR display capabilities by integrating a camera interface and image processing system. The NFT contains both the digital artwork and metadata that enables AR rendering, combining ownership verification with virtual environment integration in a single system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system consisting of a camera and image processing module that bridges the gap between the digital NFT and the physical AR display. This intermediary captures real-time images and overlays the NFT content, enabling the object to function in both digital and physical contexts.
2Ease of manufacture
If NFTs are created as digital tokens, then they can be bought and sold, but they lack the personal significance and decorative value of real-world items
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by customizing the AR display to match the specific NFT content and user preferences. The system processes the NFT metadata to determine appropriate display parameters, creating a personalized virtual experience that reflects the unique characteristics of each digital artwork.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a functional copy of the NFT that can be displayed in AR environments. Instead of merely storing the digital token, the system generates a visual representation that can be overlaid on real-world images, preserving the NFT's identity while enabling new uses in virtual and augmented contexts.
3Adaptability or versatility
If virtual digital objects are displayed in AR, then they can enhance individual representations, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the AR display system into distinct functional modules: a camera interface for capturing images, an image processing module for analyzing and preparing content, and an overlay module for rendering the NFT. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while working together to enhance virtual environments.

AI summary
A system and method for viewing a virtual digital object created from components having cryptocurrency value includes receiving a selection of at least one of an avatar, a captured image of the user or a third party, or a digital scene and receiving a selection of the virtual digital object for display on the selected avatar or captured image or within the digital scene. The virtual digital object includes metadata relating to at least one of cryptocurrency value of the virtual digital object, creation of the virtual digital object, and rules governing use and ownership of the virtual digital object. The user may manipulate the displayed virtual digital object within the display and may elect to display at least part of the metadata (e.g., price) along with the virtual digital object. The display of the virtual digital object may be captured and forwarded via a messaging or social media application.
