Floating Image Display Module for 3D Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional technologies limit user interaction with 3D images to rotation and zooming on a flat display, failing to enhance the user experience for viewing and manipulating 3D content.
Innovation Solution
A system integrating a flat display and a floating-image display, allowing users to interact with 3D images by manipulating a floating image displayed on a separate module, which can be controlled through gestures and updated in real-time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a flat display is used to display 3D images, then the device structure remains simple, but the user interaction experience is limited to basic rotation and zooming operations
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is segmented into two independent modules: a flat display module for displaying 2D images and a floating-image display module for displaying manipulable 3D floating images. This segmentation allows each module to specialize in its function, improving interaction experience while maintaining overall system manageability through modular architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The floating-image display module acts as an intermediary between the user and the content displayed on the flat display. Users interact with the floating 3D image representation, and the system translates these interactions into operations on the corresponding flat display content, enhancing ease of operation without requiring direct manipulation of the flat display itself
2Adaptability or versatility
If only a flat display is used, then the device complexity is low, but the ability to view and manipulate 3D content from multiple angles is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from two-dimensional flat display interaction to three-dimensional floating image interaction. The floating-image display module renders 3D images that users can manipulate from multiple angles, adding a spatial dimension to the interaction paradigm while the flat display maintains its traditional 2D presentation
Solution Approach 2:
The floating-image display module serves multiple functions: displaying 3D floating images for manipulation, providing visual feedback for user interactions, and enabling multi-angle viewing of content. This multi-functionality enhances adaptability for various 3D content applications without requiring separate specialized devices
3Ease of operation
If a floating-image display module is added to enable gesture-based interaction, then user engagement improves, but the device structure and signal processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The floating-image display module and flat display module establish bidirectional signal channels that enable them to autonomously communicate and coordinate their operations. The system self-manages the synchronization between floating image manipulations and flat display updates through established communication protocols, reducing the need for complex external control mechanisms

AI summary
A system with integration of a flat display and a floating-image display and an operating method are provided. The system includes a flat display module and a floating-image display module. In an initialization procedure, a signal channel is established between the flat display module and the floating-image module. The flat display module displays a 2D image according to a flat display signal. A floating-image display signal is generated according to a control instruction, and accordingly a floating-image display is used to display a floating image. After that, the floating-image display module receives an interaction instruction that is calculated when the floating-image display module receives a signal generated by manipulating the floating image. The floating-image display module updates the floating image according to the interaction instruction, and the flat display module correspondingly displays another 2D image.
