Virtual Object Spatial Mapping for XR Viewing Transitions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems require significant user input and resource utilization to rearrange virtual objects in extended reality environments when switching between viewing arrangements, leading to increased power consumption and heat generation.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a method where electronic devices automatically determine and maintain the spatial arrangement of virtual objects based on their initial positions, preserving spatial relationships and adapting to unbounded viewing arrangements associated with physical elements, thereby reducing the need for user-driven rearrangement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If virtual objects are manually rearranged when switching between viewing arrangements, then spatial accuracy is improved, but power consumption and heat generation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-calculates and stores the spatial arrangement mapping between different viewing arrangements. When switching arrangements, the pre-computed mapping is applied automatically without requiring real-time user input or extensive processing, thus maintaining spatial accuracy while reducing power consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically determines and applies the spatial arrangement mapping when switching between viewing arrangements, eliminating the need for manual user rearrangement. This self-service approach reduces both user input requirements and the computational resources needed for processing.
2Measurement precision
If virtual objects are manually rearranged when switching between viewing arrangements, then spatial accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The spatial arrangement mapping between different viewing arrangements is pre-calculated and stored in advance. This eliminates the need for complex real-time computation and manual user intervention, simplifying the system while maintaining spatial accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and stores a copy of the spatial arrangement mapping that can be automatically applied when switching viewing arrangements. This copying approach avoids the need for complex real-time transformation calculations, reducing system complexity while preserving spatial relationships.
3Ease of operation
If automatic spatial arrangement mapping is implemented, then user input is reduced, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The spatial arrangement mapping is pre-calculated with high precision during system setup or initialization. This pre-computed mapping is then stored and automatically applied, reducing user input requirements while ensuring manufacturing precision is met through careful pre-planning rather than real-time computation.

AI summary
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for determining a placement of virtual objects in a collection of virtual objects when changing from a first viewing arrangement to a second viewing arrangement based on their respective positions in one of the viewing arrangements. In some implementations, a method includes displaying a set of virtual objects in a first viewing arrangement in a first region of an environment. The set of virtual objects are arranged in a first spatial arrangement. A user input corresponding to a request to change to a second viewing arrangement in a second region of the environment is obtained. A mapping is determined between the first spatial arrangement and a second spatial arrangement based on spatial relationships between the set of virtual objects. The set of virtual objects is displayed in the second viewing arrangement in the second region of the environment.
