Information Processing Device for Realistic Virtual Object Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional technologies struggle to accurately reflect physical properties like mass, rigidity, and part information of real environments captured in virtual reality, leading to gaps between virtual and real objects.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that captures real environments and stores structural and physical property information, allowing it to specify the arrangement of virtual objects in virtual space to interact naturally with real objects based on their properties.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If real environment is captured into virtual reality, then virtual reality experience is provided, but physical property information (mass, rigidity, part) is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary recognition of physical properties (mass, rigidity, part information) of real-world objects before capturing them into virtual reality. This preliminary action stores the physical property data in advance, preventing information loss during the capture process and enabling accurate virtual object generation later.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that bridges the real-world object and virtual representation. This intermediary system recognizes and transfers physical property information from the real object to the virtual object, acting as a mediator that prevents direct information loss during the capture process.
2Reliability
If virtual object is displayed in virtual reality, then virtual reality experience is enhanced, but strangeness or incompatibility occurs between virtual and real objects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameters of virtual objects by assigning them physical property values (mass, rigidity, part information) that match the corresponding real-world objects. This parameter adjustment ensures consistency between virtual and real objects, eliminating strangeness or incompatibility in the virtual reality experience.
3Measurement precision
If physical property information is stored and used, then interaction accuracy is improved, but data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the physical property information into distinct components (mass, rigidity, part information) and processes them separately. This segmentation allows the system to handle complex data in manageable portions, improving interaction accuracy while controlling processing complexity through structured data organization.

AI summary
An information processing device includes: a storage unit that stores first information indicating at least one of a structure or a physical property of a first object obtained by capturing a real physical body into a virtual space; and a specifying unit that specifies an arrangement of a second object indicating a virtual object in the virtual space so that the arrangement is capable of expressing an interaction with the first object, based on an arrangement condition of the second object and on the first information.
