Dynamic Augmented Reality Space for Interactive User Avatars
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality (AR) technologies do not adequately utilize the appeal of augmented reality when a user avatar is used as a virtual object, as they typically rely on a static real space background, failing to fully demonstrate the interactive and immersive potential of AR.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that acquires a real space image, communicates with a server to create an augmented reality space that dynamically augments the real space based on related information, and displays a virtual object within this space, allowing for interactive and immersive user experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a static real space background is used in AR technology, then the system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the immersive potential and interactive appeal of augmented reality is not fully demonstrated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transforming the static real space background into a dynamic augmented reality space that changes according to user interaction and related information. The AR space dynamically adjusts its content, layout, and characteristics based on user actions, device orientation, and contextual data, thereby enhancing interactivity and immersion without requiring complete system redesign
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by creating an AR space that serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays virtual objects, responds to user interactions, adapts to different device orientations, and integrates various types of related information. This multi-functional AR space resolves the contradiction by providing diverse interactive capabilities within a unified system framework
2Adaptability or versatility
If a dynamic augmented reality space is created that changes according to related information, then the immersive user experience is enhanced, but the processing requirements and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the AR space to automatically adjust and adapt its characteristics based on incoming related information and user interactions. The system autonomously processes changes in device orientation, updates virtual object positions, and modifies space characteristics without requiring manual intervention, thereby achieving dynamic adaptation through automated self-adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring user interactions, device state, and related information, then using this feedback to dynamically adjust the AR space characteristics. The system processes feedback loops where user actions and environmental data trigger automatic modifications to the augmented reality environment, enhancing immersion through responsive adaptation
