Head-Mounted Display Prompts for Faster Peripheral Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of VR, MR, or AR head-mounted display devices face difficulties in accurately determining the position of peripherals when switching from gesture recognition to peripheral tracking interaction modes, leading to slow transitions between interaction modes.
Innovation Solution
A display control method that includes receiving a first gesture input, displaying prompt information based on the peripheral's position, and using a see-through function to show a virtual model or object indicating the peripheral's location, enabling quick switching to peripheral tracking mode.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the system supports both gesture recognition and peripheral tracking interaction modes, then the versatility of the head-mounted display device is improved, but the switching speed between interaction modes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by displaying prompt information (such as peripheral position indicators or visual cues) before the user actually needs to switch modes. When the system detects gesture recognition mode is active and a mode switch is anticipated, it pre-displays information about peripheral positions or tracking indicators, allowing the user to mentally prepare and physically locate the peripheral before the actual mode transition occurs, thereby reducing the time penalty of switching between interaction modes
2Ease of operation
If the system provides detailed prompt information about peripheral position, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a simplified visual copy or representation of the peripheral's position and status within the augmented reality display. Instead of implementing complex physical indicators or modifying the actual peripheral, the system generates virtual prompt information (such as icons, markers, or position indicators) that replicates the essential location and state data, providing users with intuitive guidance while maintaining relatively simple device architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary layer of visual information between the user and the actual peripheral. This intermediary prompt information acts as a mediator that translates complex spatial and positional data into simple, intuitive visual cues that users can quickly interpret, thereby improving ease of operation without requiring direct modification of the peripheral hardware or complex system architecture
