Virtual Interface for Stereo Vision and Asset Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current flat screen display technologies cannot fully recreate stereo vision or the sense of scale when displaying real-world environments, limiting the effectiveness of visual representation and interaction with such environments.
Innovation Solution
A system that converts sensor data from various sources, including LIDAR and thermal sensors, into a common synthetic data space for photorealistic or less-than-photorealistic rendering, allowing for intuitive interaction with real-world environments through a virtual reality interface, enabling commands to be issued for real-world actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional flat screen display technology is used, then the device is simple and reliable, but it cannot fully recreate stereo vision, parallax effect, and sense of scale
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from 2D flat screen displays to 3D volumetric displays that create a synthetic data space, enabling stereo vision and parallax effects by presenting different views to each eye and allowing users to move around the displayed content
2Device complexity
If a single flat screen is used for display, then the display system is simple, but it cannot provide different viewing angles for each eye to recreate real-world visual experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display into multiple spatial zones or viewpoints within the synthetic data space, allowing different viewing angles and perspectives simultaneously, with each zone providing a specific view that can be selected or automatically presented based on user position
3Ease of operation
If conventional display technology is used, then interaction with displayed content is limited, but the system remains easy to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic interaction where users can move physically around the display to change viewing angles and perspectives, and the system dynamically adjusts the presented view based on user position, allowing intuitive navigation and interaction with the synthetic data space
Data Source
AI summary
A system for display and interaction includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive data from one or more sensors. The processor is configured to convert the data to a common synthetic data space; provide the common synthetic data space for display; receive a request from a second user to obtain control of an asset that is controlled by a first user; determine whether permission of the first user to transfer control of the asset has been received; and in response to receiving the permission for the first user, transfer control of the asset to the second user.
