Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for exploring medical visualization parameters in virtual spaces are limited in user interaction and navigation, making it difficult for users to efficiently identify optimal parameter sets for desired visualizations.
Innovation Solution
The use of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) techniques to create an immersive layout centered on the user, allowing selection of parameter sets through natural gestures and 2D interfaces mapped to a 3D environment, with holograms displayed in a multi-dimensional virtual space that updates based on user orientation and interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional user interfaces or machine learning approaches are used to simplify parameter specification, then ease of operation is improved, but user interaction capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional 2D interfaces to a 3D immersive virtual environment where parameter exploration occurs. Users navigate a virtual space containing multiple holographic displays showing different parameter combinations, enabling natural interaction through movement and gestures while maintaining comprehensive parameter control capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a virtual environment as an intermediary between the user and the parameter space. This virtual space acts as a mediator that preserves full interaction capability while simplifying access through natural navigation, allowing users to explore parameters through spatial movement rather than complex interface operations.
2Manufacturing precision
If comprehensive parameter spaces are explored, then manufacturing precision is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-computes and displays multiple parameter combination results as holographic visualizations in the virtual space before user selection. By preparing various parameter configurations in advance and making them simultaneously accessible, users can quickly compare and select optimal parameters without sequential exploration, reducing time while maintaining comprehensive coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent organizes multiple parameter combinations in a spatial arrangement within the virtual environment, allowing parallel visualization of different parameter sets. This spatial organization enables users to survey comprehensive parameter spaces at once through spatial navigation rather than sequential review, significantly reducing exploration time while maintaining thoroughness.
3Measurement precision
If detailed parameter combinations are displayed, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the comprehensive parameter space into multiple discrete holographic visualizations, each representing a specific parameter combination. This segmentation allows detailed parameter information to be distributed across multiple manageable visual elements in the virtual space, maintaining precision while avoiding the complexity of displaying all parameters in a single interface.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method for exploration of medical visualization parameters in virtual spaces includes detecting a user location and a user orientation in a physical space and generating a display of an immersive layout centered at the user location and the user orientation. A plurality of holograms is generated within in the immersive layout. Each hologram depicts a rendering of a medical image with a distinct combination of rendering parameter values. The display is updated based on a change to one or more of the user location and the user orientation in the physical space.
