Head-Mountable Display with Segmented Front and Rear Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current head mountable display systems face challenges in providing an optimal user experience due to limitations in display configuration, securement mechanisms, and integration of electronic components.
Innovation Solution
The proposed head-mountable display device features a housing with a front and rear opening, including a display screen, a display assembly, and securement straps with electronic components. The device utilizes a securement band made of flexible textile material and includes adjustment mechanisms for optimizing display positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display assemblies are integrated into the housing, then the visual experience and functionality are enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into multiple independent display assemblies (front display assembly and rear display assembly), each capable of being adjusted and configured separately. This segmentation allows for versatile display configurations while managing complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing structure is designed to accommodate multiple display assemblies with different orientations and functions. The universal mounting structure allows various display configurations (front-facing, rear-facing, side-facing) without requiring completely different housing designs, thus enhancing versatility while controlling complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If securement straps with electronic components are added, then the functionality and interactivity are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The securement straps are merged with electronic components (such as sensors, actuators, or communication modules) to create multi-functional elements. This combining approach enhances functionality and interactivity while managing complexity by integrating rather than adding separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The securement straps serve multiple functions: mechanical securing, electronic sensing, actuation, and communication. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, thereby enhancing functional integration while controlling overall device complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If display screens are oriented in different directions, then the visual experience is enhanced, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display assemblies are designed with adjustable and reconfigurable mounting mechanisms that allow dynamic positioning. This dynamic capability enables different display orientations (front, rear, side) while reducing the need for extremely high manufacturing precision through adjustable alignment features.
Solution Approach 2:
Each display assembly is segmented as an independent module with its own mounting and alignment mechanisms. This segmentation allows each display to be precisely positioned and oriented independently, managing overall positioning precision requirements through modular adjustment rather than requiring perfect precision in the final assembly.
