Virtual Space Image Arrangement via Unified Capture Trigger
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current virtual reality (VR) systems require complex operations for capturing and arranging images within virtual spaces, which detract from the user's experience and do not allow for intuitive image capturing and sharing.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that detects an imaging trigger to generate and arrange captured images as virtual objects within the VR space, allowing for simplified image capturing and sharing, with features like automatic arrangement and tagging, and the ability to manually rearrange and share these images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a photographic image captured in the virtual space is arranged in the virtual space using existing techniques, then the captured image can be displayed and shared, but two operations (image capturing operation and sliding operation) are required making the operation complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the image capturing operation and the image arrangement operation into a single unified action. When the user performs an image capturing operation in the virtual space, the captured image is automatically arranged and displayed in the virtual space without requiring a separate sliding operation. This merging of operations resolves the technical contradiction by reducing the number of required operations from two to one, thereby improving ease of operation while eliminating unnecessary operational complexity
2Ease of operation
If multiple operations are required for image capturing and arrangement, then precise control over image placement is achieved, but the user experience is degraded due to operational complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary arrangement of the captured image automatically at the moment of capture. The captured image is pre-positioned and displayed in the virtual space without requiring subsequent manual sliding operations. This preliminary action resolves the technical contradiction by eliminating the time-consuming second operation while maintaining precise control over image placement, thereby improving user experience and reducing time loss
