Virtual Environment Arrangement for Digital Content Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional techniques for managing access to digital content, such as favoriting webpages, become unwieldy due to the vast amount of digital content available, and the increased richness in user interaction through virtualization, like augmented and virtual reality, complicates navigation.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of virtual environment arrangement and configuration techniques using virtual reality platforms, which include virtual stores arranged along virtual streets, leveraging user, provider, and machine learning inputs to customize and optimize the display and interaction of digital content, allowing for intuitive navigation and improved user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional favoriting techniques are used to manage digital content access, then users can locate specific webpages during navigation, but the system becomes unwieldy and difficult to navigate due to the sheer number of items of interest
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from conventional 2D webpage favoriting to a 3D virtual environment where digital content is represented as virtual stores arranged along virtual streets. This spatial dimensionality change allows users to navigate through content intuitively using natural movement and direction, resolving the unwieldiness of managing numerous favorites by organizing them in a navigable three-dimensional space rather than a flat list.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual environment acts as an intermediary layer between the user and the vast amount of digital content. Instead of directly managing numerous webpage favorites, users interact with virtual stores that represent grouped content categories. This intermediary virtual layer simplifies navigation by providing a structured, intuitive interface that mediates access to the underlying complex content repository.
2Adaptability or versatility
If virtualization techniques are used to expand richness in display and user interaction, then user engagement with digital content increases, but navigation through representations of digital content becomes more challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The virtual environment is dynamically configured based on user inputs, provider inputs, and machine learning analysis. The arrangement of virtual stores, virtual streets, and content representations adapts in real-time to user behavior and preferences. This dynamic adaptation maintains navigation ease by automatically optimizing the virtual layout to match individual user needs, preventing the system from becoming overly complex despite rich interactive capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes multiple parameters simultaneously including spatial arrangement of virtual stores, content grouping criteria, and navigation pathways based on machine learning analysis of user behavior. By dynamically adjusting these parameters, the system maintains intuitive navigation while providing rich interactive experiences, resolving the contradiction between interaction richness and navigation ease.

AI summary
Virtual environment arrangement and configuration techniques are described. In one example, virtualization techniques are employed to generate a virtual environment as implemented via a virtual reality platform by one or more computing devices. The virtual environment includes virtual stores arranged along virtual streets. Virtual digital content is included in the stores, such as to initiate conversion of a good or service represented by the content. Configuration of the virtual environment is based on user, provider, and/or machine learning inputs.
