Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If multiple displays are used to display various content, then the user experience is enhanced and interaction time is decreased, but the processor and battery power usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the graphical interface into multiple independent coordinate spaces, each corresponding to a specific display. This segmentation allows the processor to handle each display's content independently, reducing the overall computational burden while maintaining enhanced user experience across multiple displays.
2Loss of time
If multiple displays are used to display various content, then the user experience is enhanced and interaction time is decreased, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal coordinate space mapping mechanism that works across all displays regardless of their individual characteristics. This universal approach simplifies the interface coordination by providing a consistent method for handling user interactions across multiple displays with different resolutions, orientations, and positions.
3Ease of operation
If coordinated views on multiple displays are implemented, then three-dimensional content interaction is improved, but the processor power usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates virtual copies of the three-dimensional content in each display's coordinate space, allowing users to interact with the same 3D object from different perspectives simultaneously. This copying approach enables enhanced 3D interaction without requiring complex real-time rendering calculations on the processor.
