Virtual Object Posture Control via Spatial Position Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing virtual reality and augmented reality technologies fail to adaptively change the posture of virtual objects based on the relationship between their position in real space and the position of specific real objects, leading to unintended posture changes.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that acquires position information of virtual and real objects in real space and uses a posture change rule to adjust the virtual object's posture accordingly, allowing for intended posture changes by users through hand movements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the posture of the virtual object is changed adaptively based on position information of real objects, then the naturalness of user interaction is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional position acquisition and posture control mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The information processing apparatus integrates multiple functions into a single system: it acquires position information of both the user and real objects, determines spatial relationships, and controls virtual object posture changes based on these relationships. This multi-functional integration improves interaction naturalness while managing device complexity through unified processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical simulation systems with information processing-based posture control. Instead of using physical simulation to determine object posture, the system uses position information acquisition and relational determination to control virtual object posture, reducing mechanical complexity while maintaining interaction naturalness.
2Adaptability or versatility
If position information of multiple real objects is acquired and processed, then the adaptability of virtual object posture changes is improved, but the calculation cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system focuses calculation resources on determining the spatial relationship between the user and relevant real objects rather than processing all possible objects in the environment. By identifying and processing only the necessary position information for posture control, the system achieves adaptability while managing calculation costs efficiently.
