Virtual Object Behavior Update for AR Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In augmented reality systems, the behavior of virtual objects becomes unstable when the physical object they are attached to moves, leading to unnatural displays such as floating or incorrect positioning.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a movement determination unit, a target physical object determination unit, a virtual object behavior update unit, and a display control unit that identifies new target physical objects and updates the behavior of virtual objects accordingly, ensuring stable and natural display even when physical objects move.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the virtual object is displayed on the physical object in augmented reality, then the virtual object can be superimposed and visually recognized in the real space, but the behavior of the virtual object becomes unstable when the physical object moves
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the position of the physical object and uses this feedback information to dynamically adjust the virtual object's position and behavior. When the physical object moves, the system detects this change and automatically updates the virtual object's target position and behavior parameters, ensuring stable and natural display throughout the movement process
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual object's behavior parameters are made dynamic rather than static. The system adjusts the virtual object's position, target selection, and behavior characteristics in real-time based on the physical object's movement state, allowing the virtual object to adapt its behavior dynamically to maintain stability and natural appearance
2Device complexity
If the virtual object maintains its original position when the physical object moves, then the virtual object display remains simple, but the virtual object appears to float unnaturally
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing the relationship between the virtual object and the physical object before movement occurs. When movement is detected, the system has already prepared the necessary behavior parameters and target position information, allowing for smooth and natural transition without complex real-time calculations
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism that acts as a mediator between the physical object's movement and the virtual object's display. This intermediary layer processes the movement information and translates it into appropriate virtual object behavior changes, filtering out the harmful floating effect while maintaining display simplicity

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes: a movement determination unit configured to determine a movement of a physical object disposed in a real space; a target physical object determination unit configured to determine a new target physical object from among other physical objects in a case where the target physical object that is a target of behavior of a virtual object moves; a virtual object behavior update unit configured to determine behavior of the virtual object in relation to the new target physical object in a case where the new target physical object is determined; and a display control unit configured to display the virtual object in the real space with the determined behavior.
