Holographic Projection of Digital Objects in Video
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current entertainment technologies do not effectively enhance viewer interaction with video content, lacking the ability to create immersive three-dimensional holographic experiences that follow digital objects across multiple video frames and between display devices.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method that identifies the movement of digital objects in video content across multiple frames and projects a three-dimensional holographic image adjacent to the display surface, tracing the object's path across frames, allowing for enhanced interactivity and visual appeal by creating holographic projections of digital objects that appear to float and move above the display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional two-dimensional display is used, then device simplicity is maintained, but viewer immersion and interaction with video content are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional flat display to three-dimensional holographic projection, adding a depth dimension to the visual experience. Digital objects are projected as volumetric holograms that float above the display surface, enabling viewers to perceive depth, height, and spatial relationships that are impossible in conventional 2D displays.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a holographic projection layer as an intermediary between the digital content and the viewer. This intermediate holographic layer captures digital objects from video frames and renders them as three-dimensional projections, mediating the interaction between the flat screen content and the viewer's spatial perception.
2Adaptability or versatility
If digital objects are extracted and projected holographically, then visual appeal and interactivity are enhanced, but processing complexity and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary extraction and identification of digital objects from video frames before holographic projection. By pre-processing the video content to isolate objects of interest and prepare their three-dimensional representations, the system reduces real-time processing demands during actual holographic rendering and interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates holographic copies of digital objects from the original video content. Instead of processing and rendering complex original scenes in real-time, the system extracts key objects and generates simplified holographic representations that maintain visual fidelity while reducing computational requirements for projection and interaction.
3Adaptability or versatility
If holographic projections trace object paths across multiple frames, then viewer engagement is improved, but temporal processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system maintains continuous holographic projection of digital objects as they move across multiple video frames. By tracking object trajectories and smoothly transitioning holographic positions frame-by-frame, the system creates seamless three-dimensional motion that enhances viewer engagement without interrupting the viewing experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-calculates object movement paths and trajectory points across multiple video frames before projection. By anticipating future object positions based on motion analysis, the system prepares holographic projection data in advance, reducing real-time computational burden while maintaining smooth continuous motion tracking.
