Solution Overview

Problem

Current video games lack immersive environments where users can interact with virtual objects and environmental elements using user input devices, limiting the depth of user engagement and experience.

Innovation Solution

An interactive multimedia structure comprising a floor and wall surfaces, a multimedia output system, and a tracking system that creates an immersive environment with virtual objects and elements, allowing users to interact and modify the environment based on their input, with optional network connectivity and machine learning for personalized experiences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional video games are used, then user interaction with virtual objects is possible, but the immersive environment is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimmersive environmentVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple display surfaces (floor and wall surfaces) into a unified immersive environment that surrounds the user. This merging of display surfaces creates a comprehensive virtual reality experience where users can interact with virtual objects in three-dimensional space, transforming the traditional two-dimensional game interface into an immersive three-dimensional environment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional display to three-dimensional immersive environment by adding vertical and depth dimensions. The floor surface display and wall surface projections create a three-dimensional virtual space that envelops the user, enabling interaction with virtual objects in multiple spatial dimensions rather than limited to a flat screen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If immersive environment with multiple display surfaces is created, then user engagement is enhanced, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The computing device performs multiple functions: it processes user input from various input devices, determines modifications to the immersive environment, and controls the display on both floor and wall surfaces. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems into a single integrated platform, managing the complexity through unified control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously tracks user interactions with virtual objects and uses this feedback to dynamically modify the immersive environment. The computing device receives input, determines appropriate environmental modifications, and updates the display in real-time, creating an adaptive system that responds to user actions and maintains high engagement levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If real-time modification of immersive environment based on user interaction is implemented, then adaptability is improved, but processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironment adaptabilityVSAvoidprocessing energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The immersive environment is dynamically modified based on real-time user interactions rather than remaining static. The computing device continuously processes input signals and adjusts virtual object positions, environmental elements, and display content to respond to user actions, creating a living, adaptive environment that evolves with user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
