Mixed Reality Engine Sub-Environment Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current social media platforms fail to effectively connect users through customizable augmented and virtual reality spaces, limiting social interaction and immersion between users.
Innovation Solution
The development of highly customizable mixed reality environments that allow users to traverse and interact with personalized augmented and virtual reality spaces, with administrators controlling access and linking multiple sub-environments, including interactive elements and authentication measures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users are allowed to traverse and interact with multiple personalized augmented reality spaces, then user connection and immersion are enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the mixed reality environment into multiple independent sub-environments (augmented reality spaces, virtual reality spaces, game worlds) that can be individually customized and managed. Each sub-environment is a separate instance that users can traverse between, allowing high adaptability without requiring the entire system to be complex. The segmentation principle is applied by creating distinct, manageable reality spaces that link together through portals.
Solution Approach 2:
The mixed reality engine provides universal access and management capabilities across all types of sub-environments. The system handles multiple reality types (augmented, virtual, game worlds) through a unified interface and authentication system, allowing administrators to manage diverse spaces and users to traverse between different reality types using the same portal mechanism.
2Reliability
If administrators control access and link multiple sub-environments, then security and customization are improved, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces portal objects as intermediaries that simplify access control and navigation. Portals serve as the intermediary mechanism between users and sub-environments, encapsulating authentication and transition logic. Users interact with simple portal objects rather than directly managing complex access controls, while administrators can configure portal permissions without users needing to understand the underlying security mechanisms.
3Measurement precision
If smart markers are required for participants to engage with augmented reality space, then tracking precision is improved, but ease of operation worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses virtual copies (portals) of entry points that can be placed within augmented reality spaces. Instead of requiring physical smart markers for all entries, the system creates virtual portal copies that provide the same functionality. These portal copies can be interacted with through the mixed reality interface, maintaining tracking precision while removing the need for physical marker placement by users.

AI summary
In a method facilitating connectivity between at least first and second persons contemplates utilizing one or more computer processors to instantiate a first augmented reality space that mimics a real world space physically in existence about a first person. The first augmented reality space includes at least an avatar of the first person, and a first virtual representation of at least one real world object within the first augmented reality space. Using one or more computer processors, the method provides an interface through which the second person, distal to the first person, can use a second avatar to contemporaneously occupy and enter the first augmented reality space, traverse the space, and interact with the object.
