Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a transparent displayer is positioned between the real object and user observation area to display additional information, then the displaying content becomes diversified, but accurate alignment becomes difficult to maintain when user observation position varies
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a stereoscopic dimension to the displaying system. By generating stereoscopic virtual objects with depth information and using an optical-shielding structure to simulate depth-of-field, the system transforms a two-dimensional alignment problem into a three-dimensional spatial relationship problem. This allows the virtual objects to maintain proper alignment with real objects regardless of user observation position, as the stereoscopic effect provides spatial context that accommodates varying perspectives.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an optical-shielding structure as an intermediary element between the transparent displayer and the real object. This structure selectively shields light to simulate depth-of-field effects, creating a mediator that establishes the spatial relationship between virtual and real objects. The optical-shielding structure acts as a buffer that maintains alignment accuracy by controlling which parts of the real object are visible through the transparent displayer, regardless of user position.
2Adaptability or versatility
If stereoscopic displaying technology is integrated to generate stereoscopic virtual objects, then the interactive displaying effect becomes more immersive, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transparent displaying apparatus serves multiple functions: it displays additional information, presents stereoscopic virtual objects, and works in conjunction with the optical-shielding structure to simulate depth-of-field. By making the displaying system multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function, thereby managing complexity while achieving immersive stereoscopic effects.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested structure where the optical-shielding structure is disposed adjacent to and integrated with the transparent displaying apparatus. The optical-shielding structure is positioned between the transparent displaying apparatus and the real object, creating a nested arrangement where multiple functional elements are compactly organized. This nesting approach maintains immersive stereoscopic capabilities while controlling overall system complexity through spatial integration.
