Video Conference 3D Model Rendering for Independent Angle Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
During video conferences, participants often struggle to view objects from desired angles without asking the speaker to reposition the object, limiting their ability to inspect details thoroughly.
Innovation Solution
An imaging method that allows participants to build a 3D model based on 2D frames from the video conference stream and render adjusted images from specific viewing angles, enabling independent rotation of objects within the imaging window.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the speaker rotates the object or shoots around the object to show complete appearance, then the participants can view more details of the object, but the participants cannot independently adjust the viewing angle without asking the speaker to show again
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a 3D model copy of the object from multiple 2D video frames captured during the conference. This digital replica allows participants to independently rotate and view the object from any angle without requiring the speaker to physically rotate or reposition the actual object, thus eliminating repeated demonstrations and saving time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms 2D video frames into a 3D model, adding a third dimension to the object representation. This enables participants to view the object from multiple angles and perspectives that would not be available in the original 2D video stream, providing independent angle adjustment capability.
2Loss of information
If the speaker continuously adjusts the object to show all angles, then all details are visible, but the speaker's attention is diverted from the main presentation
Solution Approach 1:
By creating a persistent 3D model copy of the object, the system preserves complete object information independently of the speaker's actions. Participants can inspect the object thoroughly using the 3D model while the speaker maintains focus on the main presentation, eliminating the need for continuous adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The 3D model acts as an intermediary between the original object and the participants. It provides a complete, manipulable representation that participants can explore independently, freeing the speaker from the role of manual object demonstrator while ensuring no object details are lost.
3Measurement precision
If multiple participants wait for the speaker to show the object from their desired angles, then everyone can see details, but the process becomes inefficient and disruptive
Solution Approach 1:
The 3D model provides each participant with an identical, independently controllable copy of the object. Everyone can inspect details with the same high quality without coordination, as each participant controls their own view of the 3D model independently of others.
Solution Approach 2:
Participants use the 3D model to self-serve their own inspection needs by independently adjusting viewing angles and examining details at their own pace. This eliminates the need for coordinated demonstrations by the speaker and reduces presentation disruption.
