Stereoscopic Display Control for Depth Perception
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display technologies limit the ability to effectively display a large number of objects in a manner that enhances visual recognition and depth perception, particularly in two-dimensional displays where objects overlap, making it difficult to distinguish positional relationships and arrange objects freely.
Innovation Solution
A display control program that utilizes a combination of stereoscopic and two-dimensional displays across two separate display portions, allowing objects to be arranged with varying depths and positions, enabling enhanced reality and recognition by determining which objects are displayed stereoscopically or two-dimensionally based on their arrangement positions, and using virtual cameras to create depth effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If objects are displayed on a two-dimensional display, then the display structure is simple, but the visual recognition and depth perception are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a stereoscopic display portion that adds a third dimension (depth) to the traditional two-dimensional display. By displaying certain objects in stereoscopic space while keeping others in two-dimensional space, the system enhances depth perception and visual recognition without completely redesigning the display structure. This partial dimensional enhancement resolves the contradiction by providing 3D depth perception where needed while maintaining overall structural simplicity.
2Quantity of substance
If a large number of objects are displayed in two-dimensional alignment, then the display capacity is high, but the visual recognition and ease of identification are reduced due to overlapping
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the stereoscopic display portion to arrange objects in three-dimensional space, allowing objects that would overlap in two-dimensional space to be separated along the depth axis. This enables a large number of objects to be displayed simultaneously while maintaining visual recognition, as users can perceive depth relationships and distinguish overlapping objects through their different positions in stereoscopic space.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a hierarchical display structure where the two-dimensional display portion and stereoscopic display portion work together in a nested manner. The two-dimensional display provides the base layer for displaying objects, while the stereoscopic display adds a layered depth dimension. This nested arrangement allows objects to be organized both in the horizontal plane and in depth, increasing display capacity while maintaining recognition ease.
3Measurement precision
If stereoscopic display is used for all objects, then the depth perception is maximized, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies stereoscopic display selectively to specific objects or regions rather than uniformly to all objects. By determining which objects benefit most from three-dimensional presentation and displaying them in the stereoscopic portion while keeping others in the two-dimensional portion, the system maximizes depth perception where needed while minimizing overall system complexity and cost.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the display system into two distinct portions: a two-dimensional display portion and a stereoscopic display portion. This segmentation allows each portion to be optimized for its specific function, with the stereoscopic portion handling objects requiring depth perception and the two-dimensional portion handling other objects. This division reduces the complexity compared to making the entire display stereoscopic while still providing enhanced depth perception for relevant objects.

AI summary
A display control program executed on a computer of a display (100) having a first display portion (110) capable of providing stereoscopic display and a second display portion (120) configured to provide two-dimensional display is provided. The display control program causes the computer to function as object display means for controlling the first display portion and the second display portion such that a plurality of objects are displayed at respective arrangement positions set by arrangement position setting means and an object group is displayed across the first display portion and the second display portion. The object display means determines on which of the first and second display portions objects included in the object group are to be displayed, and provides stereoscopic display of an object determined to be displayed on the first display portion and provides two-dimensional display of an object determined to be displayed on said second display portion.
