Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If three-dimensional images are displayed in mid-air without accessories, then viewing accessibility is improved, but interactive functionality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a sensor as an intermediary device that detects user hand positions and gestures in mid-air. This sensor acts as a mediator between the user and the aerially displayed image, enabling interaction without direct contact with the image or wearing special accessories. The sensor captures hand position information and transmits it to the image processing apparatus, which then responds by changing image brightness or displaying operation screens, thus bridging the gap between aerial display and interactive control.
2Adaptability or versatility
If mid-air gesture detection is added to enable interaction, then interactive functionality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs sensors that automatically detect and track hand positions and gestures without requiring user configuration or calibration. The image processing apparatus autonomously processes the detected hand position information, automatically adjusts image brightness levels, and displays appropriate operation screens based on detected gestures. This self-service approach minimizes the need for complex control systems, manual setup procedures, or additional user interface components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while still achieving enhanced interactivity.
