Immersive Project Workspace Using Spatial Mapping for Contextual Insights
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current project workspaces lack effective means to provide contextual and situational insights to team members, relying on subjective perceptions and static reports, which are limited and do not account for the team member's context within the workspace.
Innovation Solution
Implementing an extended reality-based immersive project workspace that uses spatial mapping and mixed reality to overlay relevant insights onto the physical workspace, providing ambient awareness and immersive visualizations through a conversational virtual agent and smart information radiators.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If static reports and subjective perceptions are used to provide project insights, then the system complexity is low, but the information completeness and contextual awareness are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple data sources including project management tools, communication platforms, and workspace sensors into a unified extended reality system. This merging of previously separate systems enables comprehensive contextual awareness while managing complexity through integrated architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The extended reality headset acts as an intermediary device that processes and presents synthesized project insights to team members. This intermediary layer translates complex multi-source data into intuitive spatial visualizations, reducing the perceived complexity for end users.
2Productivity
If traditional collaboration tools are used, then the ease of operation is maintained, but the productivity and collaboration effectiveness are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions collaboration from two-dimensional screens to three-dimensional spatial visualization. Project insights, task statuses, and team interactions are rendered in immersive 3D space, enabling more effective collaboration while maintaining ease of operation through natural spatial interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
Traditional mechanical interaction with collaboration tools (clicking, typing, navigating menus) is replaced with spatial presence and natural gestures in extended reality. This substitution improves collaboration effectiveness by enabling more intuitive and efficient interactions.
3Loss of information
If comprehensive project data is collected and processed, then the information completeness improves, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary processing and synthesis of project data in the background before it is needed for presentation. Data from multiple sources is pre-integrated and organized into actionable insights, reducing real-time processing requirements while maintaining information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The extended reality system automatically collects, processes, and synthesizes project data without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by continuously monitoring project tools and communication platforms, extracting relevant insights, and presenting them in the immersive workspace.
Data Source
AI summary
In some examples, extended reality based immersive project workspace creation may include obtaining sensing data from at least one sensor of a device worn by a user, and analyzing, based on the sensing data, an environment of the user. A plurality of insights associated with the user may be determined, and prioritized based on a plurality of prioritization criteria. An insight of the plurality of prioritized insights associated with the user may be rendered in the environment of the user. Further, the rendering of the insight may be controlled based on an interaction of the user with the rendered insight.
