Solution Overview

Problem

Immersive systems like VR, AR, and MR experience delays due to stabilization periods for tracking device position data, leading to diminished user immersion and responsiveness.

Innovation Solution

An immersive system and method that computes an appropriate hand position without initial pose data, rendering a virtual model immediately, and corrects it based on stabilized pose data post-stabilization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the system waits for pose data stabilization before rendering the virtual model, then the position accuracy is improved, but the response time deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposition accuracyVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary rendering of the virtual model using default or estimated position data before the pose data stabilization is complete. This allows the visual content to be displayed immediately while the positioning system continues to stabilize, eliminating the waiting period while maintaining acceptable positional accuracy through subsequent corrections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of time

If the system renders the virtual model immediately without waiting for pose data stabilization, then the response time is improved, but the position accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse timeVSAvoidposition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the virtual model's position is continuously adjusted based on the stabilized pose data once it becomes available. The initial rendering uses approximate positioning, and subsequent corrections refine the position accuracy, creating a closed-loop system that improves precision over time while maintaining immediate responsiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Manufacturing precision

If the system uses stabilized pose data for rendering, then the rendering accuracy is improved, but the user immersion deteriorates due to waiting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverendering accuracyVSAvoiduser immersion
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system renders the virtual model immediately using preliminary positioning data, allowing users to interact with the immersive environment without waiting for stabilization. The rendering accuracy is then progressively improved as stabilized pose data becomes available, maintaining both user immersion and eventual precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Manufacturing precision

If the system delays rendering until pose data is stabilized, then the rendering accuracy is improved, but the productivity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverendering accuracyVSAvoidsystem efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system maintains continuous rendering operations without interruption by using available positioning data immediately. The rendering process continues uninterrupted while the positioning system stabilizes in the background, with accuracy improvements applied progressively, ensuring both high productivity and acceptable rendering quality throughout the stabilization period.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
