Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems fail to seamlessly transfer objects between holographic and non-holographic displays without artifacts, such as disruptions in movement or location, limiting the immersive and interactive experience in multi-display environments.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a holographic display and an additional display, coordinated by a computer using a shared coordinate system, allows users to transfer objects between displays by interpreting user gestures, ensuring smooth and artifact-free transitions by adjusting display coordinates and rendering techniques.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If objects are transferred between holographic and non-holographic displays, then the interactive experience is enhanced, but artifacts and disruptions in movement or location occur

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinteractive experienceVSAvoidtransfer smoothness

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a coordinate system registration mechanism that acts as an intermediary between the holographic display and non-holographic display. This mediator aligns the coordinate systems of both displays, ensuring that object positions are consistently mapped across different display types, thereby preventing artifacts and disruptions during transfer operations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts display parameters including coordinate transformations, depth mapping, and position scaling when transferring objects between holographic and non-holographic displays. By changing these parameters appropriately, the system maintains visual consistency and eliminates artifacts during the transfer process

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If a shared coordinate system is used to coordinate displays, then object transfer accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveobject transfer accuracyVSAvoidcoordinate coordination system

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal coordinate system that serves multiple functions: it coordinates positions across different display types, enables gesture recognition, and facilitates object transfer. This multi-functional approach improves transfer accuracy while avoiding the need for separate coordination mechanisms for each function, thereby limiting the increase in system complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If gestures are interpreted to control object transfer, then user interaction is enhanced, but detection and measurement difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser interactionVSAvoidgesture detection

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses the display system itself to detect gestures by monitoring user interactions with displayed objects. The display captures gesture data directly from user actions, eliminating the need for separate complex detection hardware. This self-service approach enhances user interaction while keeping the detection system relatively simple

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service
