Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies fail to create a compelling, high-resolution holographic energy source system capable of stimulating human sensory receptors in a virtual environment, lacking the ability to provide seamless energy surfaces for holographic energy propagation that meets the Holodeck Design Parameters, including visual, auditory, somatosensory, gustatory, and vestibular systems.
Innovation Solution
The development of high-resolution two-dimensional energy source systems using relay elements with transverse Anderson localization principles, employing optical relays and materials like glass, carbon, optical fibers, and polymers, which enable energy waves to propagate with higher efficiency along a longitudinal orientation and spatial magnification or de-magnification, forming a seamless energy surface for holographic energy propagation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional technologies are used for holographic energy sources, then the system structure is simple, but the resolution and sensory stimulation capability are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the holographic energy source into multiple relay elements arranged in a two-dimensional array, where each element contributes to the overall high-resolution energy surface. This segmentation allows the system to achieve sensory-stimulating resolution through the collective contribution of many simpler components rather than requiring a single complex element.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from conventional one-dimensional or point-based energy sources to a two-dimensional array of relay elements. This dimensional expansion creates a seamless energy surface that can provide spatially distributed sensory stimulation, enabling true holographic experiences that engage multiple sensory receptors simultaneously across a surface area.
2Use of energy by moving object
If energy waves are propagated without transverse Anderson localization, then the transport structure is simple, but the transport efficiency is lower
Solution Approach 1:
The relay elements incorporate randomized refractive index variability as a key parameter change, which exploits transverse Anderson localization to dramatically improve energy transport efficiency. By introducing controlled randomness in the refractive index rather than maintaining uniformity, the system achieves superior energy confinement and transport along the longitudinal orientation compared to conventional uniform structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses multiple relay elements that replicate the transverse Anderson localization structure throughout the two-dimensional array. Each element copies the randomized refractive index pattern, creating a scalable system where the efficient energy transport mechanism is reproduced across all elements to form the complete high-resolution energy surface.
3Area of stationary object
If spatial magnification is applied to increase energy surface area, then the energy surface area increases, but the resolution may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using a single magnified element that would lose resolution, the system segments the magnified surface into multiple discrete relay elements. Each element maintains its resolution integrity while the collective array provides the expanded surface area needed for high-resolution holographic energy propagation across the entire energy surface.

This solution allows for the creation of a seamless energy surface that can fool human sensory receptors, providing binocular disparity, accurate motion parallax, occlusion, and opacity, exceeding human sensory resolution for vision, hearing, touch, taste, and balance, thereby realizing a more immersive holographic experience.
Implementation Method 1
energy waves propagating between the first surface and the second surface travel substantially parallel to the longitudinal orientation due to a substantially higher transport efficiency in the longitudinal orientation than in the transverse orientation
Implementation Method 2
the relay element includes randomized refractive index variability such that the energy is localized in the transverse orientation
Implementation Method 3
energy waves passing therethrough the relay element result in spatial magnification or spatial de-magnification

AI summary
Disclosed are relay elements exhibiting transverse localization. The relay elements may include a relay element body having one or more structures, where the structures can be coupled in series, in parallel and/or in stacked configurations. The structures may have multiple surfaces such that energy waves propagating therethrough the relay elements may experience spatial magnification or de-magnification.
