Head-Mounted Display Mode Switching Through Two-Hand Gestures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mixed reality technologies suffer from poor operability due to the requirement of performing gestures and operations through a single hand, leading to reduced efficiency and inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that detects gestures by a first hand and switches operation modes based on specific gestures, allowing different processing to be executed by a second hand, enhancing user interaction efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If gestures and operations are performed by one hand, then the system can be operated with a single hand, but operability becomes poor and efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the hand operation into two independent parts: one hand performs gesture recognition while the other hand performs touch operations. This segmentation allows each hand to specialize in different interaction modes, resolving the contradiction between single-hand operation simplicity and multi-task operation efficiency.
2Ease of operation
If operation mode switching is added to enable two-hand operation, then operability improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects which hand is performing the gesture and automatically switches operation modes accordingly, without requiring manual configuration or complex user setup. This self-service approach improves operability while minimizing the complexity burden on the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The gesture recognition unit is designed to universally recognize gestures from either hand, and the operation mode switching mechanism adapts to different usage scenarios. This multi-functionality allows the same system components to serve multiple purposes, improving operability without proportionally increasing complexity.

AI summary
An information processing device that generates data to be displayed on a head-mounted display. The information processing device includes: a detection unit that detects a gesture by a first hand of a user; and a processing unit that switches, in a case where a specific gesture by the first hand is detected by the detection unit in a first operation mode in which first processing is executed in response to a first operation by a second hand of the user, to a second operation mode in which second processing different from the first processing is executed in response to the first operation by the second hand.
