Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the relief effect is overemphasized in stereoscopic display, then the 3D viewing effect is improved, but the user experiences visual fatigue and discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting multiple viewing parameters including interpupillary distance, image display distance, convergence point, and relief effect strength. The system modifies these parameters based on user feedback and physiological data to optimize the balance between stereoscopic depth perception and viewing comfort, preventing visual fatigue while maintaining effective 3D visualization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring user physiological responses (such as eye movement, focus adjustments, and comfort levels) and using this information to automatically adjust display parameters. This closed-loop feedback allows the system to adapt the relief effect and other parameters in real-time, ensuring optimal viewing conditions that prevent visual fatigue while maintaining stereoscopic effectiveness.
2Device complexity
If the display system uses fixed parameters, then the device complexity is reduced, but it cannot adapt to individual user physiology
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transforming fixed display parameters into dynamically adjustable variables. The system continuously adapts interpupillary distance, image display distance, convergence point, and other parameters based on individual user physiology and real-time viewing conditions. This dynamic approach enables personalized optimization without requiring complex manual configuration, as the system automatically adjusts to each user's unique characteristics.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by automatically detecting and adapting to user physiological parameters without requiring manual input or complex setup procedures. The display system monitors user responses and autonomously optimizes viewing parameters, eliminating the need for users to manually configure complex settings while still achieving personalized adaptation to individual physiology.
3Ease of operation
If the viewing parameters are not optimized for the user, then the ease of operation is improved, but the user experiences discomfort during extended viewing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring the system with adjustable parameters that can be automatically optimized before viewing begins. The system performs initial calibration and parameter setup based on user physiology, establishing optimal viewing conditions in advance. This preliminary optimization ensures comfort during extended viewing sessions without requiring complex user setup procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback mechanisms to monitor user comfort levels during viewing and automatically adjusts parameters to maintain optimal conditions for extended periods. By continuously monitoring physiological responses and making real-time adjustments, the system enables comfortable prolonged viewing without requiring users to manually intervene or reconfigure settings.
