Holographic Display Visibility Adaptation
Solution Overview
Problem
In environments with low visibility, such as foggy or crowded conditions, users cannot view important content displayed on 2D digital displays, which can be critical for safety or time-sensitive information.
Innovation Solution
A system that detects low visibility and generates holographic content based on determined display characteristics, allowing users to view the content as 3D holograms in mid-air, mirroring the original 2D display content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If holographic content is generated and displayed in mid-air, then content visibility is improved in low visibility environments, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a camera as an intermediary to capture the 2D display content and convert it into holographic format. The camera acts as a mediator between the original display and the holographic projection system, enabling the transformation from traditional 2D content to 3D holographic content that can be viewed in mid-air, thereby solving the visibility problem while managing system complexity through a straightforward capture-and-convert approach
2Loss of information
If holographic projection is used to overcome visibility issues, then information accessibility is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by capturing and processing the 2D display content into holographic format in advance, before the actual viewing needs occur. This preprocessing allows the holographic content to be ready for immediate projection when visibility issues arise, reducing the need for real-time processing and thereby lowering overall energy consumption while ensuring information remains accessible

AI summary
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to holographic display of content based on visibility. Low visibility of a 2-dimensional (2D) display with respect to a user can be detected. In response to detecting the low visibility, holographic content display characteristics of holographic content to be generated from the 2D display can be determined. Based on the determined holographic content display characteristics, holographic content can be generated via a holographic display of the 2D display.
