Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality technologies fail to provide a realistic and immersive experience in swimming pools by interacting with surrounding objects and environments, limiting the sense of space and immersion for observers.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes sensors to capture various angles of the swimming pool environment, processes and projects realistic content on the underwater surface using augmented reality, allowing observers to experience a floating-in-air effect with customizable viewpoints.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If augmented reality technology is applied to swimming pools, then a sense of immersion is provided to observers, but the interaction with surrounding objects and environments is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses sensors to detect the observer's location, movement, and surrounding environment, then feeds this information back to dynamically adjust and render AR content that interacts with real-world objects. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables realistic interaction while maintaining immersion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an AR content rendering system as an intermediary between the observer and the real swimming pool environment. This intermediary processes sensor data and generates virtual content that seamlessly integrates with physical surroundings, enabling interaction without breaking immersion.
2Adaptability or versatility
If 3D content is provided using augmented reality technology, then a sense of immersion is increased, but the spatial experience varies depending on observer location
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts AR content rendering based on real-time observer position and orientation data from sensors. Instead of static multi-viewpoint pre-rendering, the system continuously adapts content to match the observer's current spatial context, providing consistent experience without complex fixed viewpoint processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes rendering parameters such as camera position, field of view, and content orientation based on sensor input. By dynamically modifying these parameters rather than creating separate content for each viewpoint, the system achieves spatial consistency with reduced complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If sensors are deployed to capture surrounding environment data, then interaction with surrounding objects is enabled, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses multi-functional sensors that can detect multiple types of environmental data (position, motion, surrounding objects) simultaneously. This universal sensing approach enables comprehensive environmental interaction without requiring separate specialized sensors for each function, reducing overall complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines sensor data processing, AR content generation, and rendering functions into an integrated system. By merging these previously separate components into a unified processing pipeline, the system reduces complexity while maintaining full environmental interaction capability.

AI summary
A realistic content provision device and a method thereof are disclosed. A realistic content provision device according to the present disclosure comprises: a communication module configured to communicate with a cloud server and receive sensing information and surrounding image information from one or more sensors arranged around a swimming pool; and a memory for storing a realistic content and 3D data related thereto. In addition, the device may: process, on the basis of the received sensing information, the realistic content matching the surrounding image information, so as to correspond to multiple recognizable user points of view with reference to the location of a moving object having approached around the swimming pool; and perform rendering to output the processed realistic content on a surface of water of the swimming pool in an augmented reality. In this case, the surrounding image information may be edited, combined, and updated to be connected to an actual background and projected.
