Perspective-Reprojected Environment Display for Spatial Perception
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current camera technologies display image data from a static perspective, making it difficult for users to correctly perceive spatial relationships of objects in the environment, and multiple users within the same space may have different perspectives, leading to confusion.
Innovation Solution
A computing system that constructs a depth map of the environment using stereo imaging or depth sensors, determines the user's pose, and reprojects image data to match the user's perspective, providing a view of the environment without occlusion or parallax issues through head-mounted displays or display panels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If image data is displayed from a static camera perspective, then the system structure is simple, but users cannot correctly perceive spatial relationships of objects in the environment
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts the displayed image perspective based on the user's real-time pose and position within the defined space. Instead of a fixed camera view, the image data is transformed to match the user's current orientation and location, enabling accurate spatial relationship perception while maintaining system simplicity through software-based dynamic adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the display parameters of the image data based on user pose information. By detecting the user's position, orientation, and viewing angle, the system transforms the static camera image into a dynamically adjusted view that reflects the user's perspective, thereby improving spatial perception without adding complex hardware.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users share the same display, then resource utilization is efficient, but each user has different perspectives leading to confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides personalized perspective information to each user based on their individual pose and position. Instead of displaying a single unified view, the system detects each user's location and orientation within the defined space and transforms the image data accordingly, ensuring that each user sees the environment from their own perspective, thereby eliminating confusion while efficiently sharing the same display resource.
3Measurement precision
If image data is transformed to match user perspective, then spatial relationship perception is accurate, but processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs partial transformation of the image data, focusing computational resources on adjusting the perspective parameters necessary for accurate spatial perception rather than completely regenerating the entire image. By detecting user pose and applying targeted geometric transformations to the existing camera image, the system achieves accurate spatial relationship representation while minimizing unnecessary computational overhead.

AI summary
Examples are disclosed that relate to providing image data to a user in a defined space of a surrounding environment from a perspective of the user. One example provides a computing system, comprising a logic subsystem, and a storage subsystem comprising instructions executable by the logic subsystem to obtain information regarding a pose of a user within a defined space, based upon the pose of the user, determine a portion of an environment surrounding the defined space toward which the user is looking, obtain image data representing the portion of the environment from a perspective of the user, and provide the image data for display via a display device within the defined space.
