Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing virtual reality (VR) travel experiences lack personalization and fail to reflect the unique experiences of individual users, resulting in a lack of charm and value.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus and method that modify images in a virtual space using real-world images captured at specific locations, incorporating evaluation information such as user comments and photographer attributes to personalize the VR experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If virtual reality travel experiences use standardized pre-generated content, then production efficiency is improved, but personalization and user engagement deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates virtual travel content in advance (standardized production) while simultaneously preparing multiple variations and components that can be later customized based on individual user preferences, behaviors, and feedback without requiring complete regeneration
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual travel experience transitions from static pre-generated content to a dynamic system that continuously adapts and personalizes based on user interactions, preferences, and feedback, allowing the same base content to serve multiple users with different experiences
2Adaptability or versatility
If virtual space images are changed frequently to reflect real-world variations, then personalization is improved, but data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of processing and changing entire virtual space images, the system applies modifications only to specific local regions or elements where personalization is needed, based on user preferences and evaluation information, reducing overall processing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system personalizes virtual travel experiences by modifying parameters such as color schemes, lighting conditions, object placements, or descriptive text rather than completely regenerating images, achieving personalization through efficient parameter adjustments
3Measurement precision
If the system collects and processes extensive user feedback and evaluation information, then personalization accuracy is improved, but information processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the most relevant evaluation information and user feedback needed for personalization from the total data available, filtering out redundant information to maintain accuracy while reducing processing load
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically processes and analyzes user feedback and evaluation information without requiring extensive manual intervention, using automated algorithms to interpret user preferences and apply personalization based on collected data
