Mixed Reality Filtering for Geo-located Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In augmented or mixed reality environments, managing and presenting large amounts of virtual reality information can overwhelm users, making it difficult to process and creating undesirable user experiences due to clutter, as users often need to view only a portion of the available information.
Innovation Solution
A method for selectively filtering geo-located data items in a mixed reality environment using modes such as social, popular, recent, work, and user interest modes, prioritizing data based on factors like age, ratings, and user preferences, and presenting them in a filtered collection through a display device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If large amounts of virtual reality information are presented to the user, then the information availability is improved, but the user experience deteriorates due to clutter and overwhelming information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the large set of geo-located data items into multiple filtered collections based on different criteria (social mode, popular mode, recent mode, work mode, play mode, user interest mode). Each mode presents a distinct subset of information, allowing users to access comprehensive data while avoiding overwhelming clutter by displaying only relevant portions at any given time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the presented information based on user-selected modes and contextual factors. The filtering criteria and displayed data items change adaptively according to the chosen mode, enabling the system to optimize information presentation based on real-time user needs and preferences rather than presenting static comprehensive data.
2Loss of information
If all geo-located data items are displayed, then the completeness of information is improved, but the complexity of information management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary filtering and organization of geo-located data items into different mode-specific collections before presentation. By pre-segregating data according to social, popular, recent, work, play, and user interest categories, the system reduces the complexity of managing all information at once while ensuring complete information is available on demand through mode selection.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple filtering modes are implemented, then the adaptability of information presentation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal filtering framework that handles multiple modes (social, popular, recent, work, play, user interest) through a unified system architecture. This multi-functional approach allows a single filtering mechanism to serve diverse information presentation needs, increasing adaptability while managing complexity through consolidation rather than separate systems for each mode.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments that relate to selectively filtering geo-located data items in a mixed reality environment are disclosed. For example, in one disclosed embodiment a mixed reality filtering program receives a plurality of geo-located data items and selectively filters the data items based on one or more modes. The modes comprise one or more of a social mode, a popular mode, a recent mode, a work mode, a play mode, and a user interest mode. Such filtering yields a filtered collection of the geo-located data items. The filtered collection of data items is then provided to a mixed reality display program for display by a display device.
