Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multimedia experience systems lack the ability to seamlessly switch between multiple presentation units without disrupting the audience's viewing experience or requiring them to change their seats.
Innovation Solution
A multimedia experience system with a rotatable spectator area and multiple projection units, allowing the main viewing direction to be directed to different projection units without reconfiguring the seating area, and incorporating features like electrical transmission and media supplies for uninterrupted entertainment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the spectator area is made rotatable to switch between presentation units, then the adaptability of the system is improved, but the device complexity increases due to the bearing device and electrical transmission requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The spectator area is designed with a rotatable substructure that can dynamically change its orientation relative to the auditorium, allowing the main viewing direction to be directed toward different projection units. This dynamic configuration enables the system to adapt between multiple presentation units without requiring physical reconfiguration of the seats or audience movement.
Solution Approach 2:
A bearing device serves as an intermediary mechanism between the rotatable substructure and the stationary auditorium floor. This bearing device facilitates smooth rotation while maintaining structural support and enabling electrical transmission through sliding contacts, thereby resolving the complexity of directly connecting rotating and stationary components.
2Productivity
If the substructure is freely rotatable by unlimited revolutions, then the productivity of switching between presentations is improved, but the reliability of electrical transmission may worsen due to continuous rotation
Solution Approach 1:
Sliding contacts are introduced as intermediary elements between the rotatable substructure and the stationary part of the auditorium. These sliding contacts maintain continuous electrical connection during rotation, allowing the substructure to rotate freely through unlimited revolutions while preserving reliable electrical transmission for power and signals.
Solution Approach 2:
The sliding contact mechanism serves multiple functions simultaneously: it enables continuous rotation of the substructure, maintains electrical connection for power supply, and transmits control signals. This multi-functionality resolves the conflict between rotational freedom and electrical reliability.
3Ease of operation
If multiple seating groups with individual swiveling capability are implemented, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional mounting mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The seating area is segmented into multiple independent seating groups, each capable of individual swiveling or tilting movements. This segmentation allows each group to be independently adjusted for optimal viewing angles while maintaining the overall rotational capability of the entire substructure, thereby improving operational flexibility without requiring complex centralized control mechanisms.

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables smooth transitions between presentations, maintains audience engagement, and enhances entertainment quality with flexible seating and media distribution, ensuring minimal disruption and continuous functionality.
Implementation Method 1
a sliding contact is formed between the substructure of the spectator area and the floor area of the spectator room, which serves for electrical transmission
