Smart Contact Lens AR/VR System Data Stream Splitting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current AR/VR technologies, such as head-mounted glasses, fail to provide a rich, immersive experience by effectively processing live data and superimposing it onto real-life visuals, lacking the capability to combine multiple data streams from various sensors into a unified multimedia stream for real-time processing and output.
Innovation Solution
The smart contact lens system integrates an embedded display and multimedia data processing components that split data into visual and audio forms, feeding the visual data to the contact lens display and audio data to an audio output device, allowing for real-time processing and superimposition of multimedia streams onto real-world visuals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If head-mounted glasses are used for AR/VR, then virtual image presentation is achieved, but immersion quality and realism are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical optical systems (head-mounted glasses with multiple lenses and mirrors) with a contact lens-based system that uses electro-optical components. The contact lens integrates a display, sensors, and processors directly on the cornea, eliminating the need for bulky external optical mechanisms while achieving superior immersion and realism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent embeds multiple functional components (display, sensors, processors, power supply) within the contact lens substrate itself, creating a nested structure where the entire AR/VR system is contained within a thin, wearable contact lens. This nesting approach reduces overall system complexity while maintaining advanced functionality.
2Reliability
If multiple data streams are combined for rich AR/VR experience, then immersion quality improves, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the multimedia processing into distinct functional modules: audio capture, video capture, audio processing, video processing, and synchronized output. Each module handles specific data streams independently before integration, reducing overall processing complexity while enabling rich multi-sensory AR/VR experiences.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a synchronized processor as an intermediary that coordinates multiple data streams (audio and video) from different sensors. This mediator component manages the complexity of combining multiple streams by providing centralized control and synchronization, enabling immersive experiences without overwhelming processing demands.
3Ease of operation
If selective data stream processing is implemented, then user control and customization improve, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic data stream selection where the system can adaptively enable or disable audio and video processing based on user preferences and environmental conditions. The synchronized processor dynamically adjusts which sensors and processing pipelines are active, providing user control while managing complexity through conditional processing rather than permanent structural complexity.
