Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional three-dimensional display methods fail to provide a realistic and immersive experience, as users cannot walk around or touch the objects, and require specific positions or dedicated hardware.
Innovation Solution
A display system with independently positionable display units, controlled by a motion device to mimic the shape of a three-dimensional object, and an image controller that displays sections of the image based on the object's position, allowing users to interact with the object and view it from multiple angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional flat panel displays or head mounted displays are used to create three dimensional illusions, then the three dimensional effect is achieved, but the user cannot walk around or touch the object and requires specific positions or dedicated hardware
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into multiple independently positionable display units that can be arranged in three-dimensional space. Each display unit can be positioned and oriented separately to form different configurations, allowing users to walk around and view the object from multiple angles without requiring a fixed position or dedicated headset hardware.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from traditional two-dimensional flat panel displays to a three-dimensional spatial arrangement of multiple display units. By positioning display units in three-dimensional space and controlling their orientations, the system creates a realistic three-dimensional object that users can physically navigate around, adding the dimension of physical movement and interaction that was previously impossible with conventional displays.
2Illumination intensity
If multiple display units are positioned independently to mimic the shape of a three dimensional object, then the visual realism and immersion are improved, but the device complexity and control requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The motion device is designed to dynamically adjust the position and orientation of each display unit in real-time. This dynamic capability allows the system to maintain high visual realism by precisely positioning display units to mimic complex three-dimensional object shapes while providing the flexibility to reconfigure for different objects and viewing conditions without requiring permanently complex mechanical structures.
3Shape
If the motion device positions display units to follow the shape of the three dimensional object, then the shape accuracy and three dimensional effect are improved, but the precision and control requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the motion device continuously monitors and adjusts the position of each display unit based on the desired three-dimensional object shape. This feedback control enables the system to achieve high shape accuracy by compensating for positioning errors and maintaining precise alignment of display units with the target object geometry, reducing the stringency of initial manufacturing precision requirements.
