Virtual Position Input for Performance Formation Practice
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies for formation practice in performance arts face challenges in allowing easy input and confirmation of standing positions, especially in complex formations and when all performers are not present, leading to inefficiencies and quality issues during practice.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that uses a mobile terminal with self-location acquisition and disposition position determination units to input and confirm standing positions by superimposing virtual objects on a real space, allowing easy visualization and adjustment of positions through a wearable HMD or smartphone, utilizing a virtual grid and template data for accurate positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional formation practice methods are used with physical markers and manual position recording, then the process is simple to implement, but the efficiency and accuracy of position input and confirmation are low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates virtual copies of performance positions and formation patterns that can be digitally stored, manipulated, and reused. Virtual position data represents physical performance locations, allowing efficient editing and confirmation without physical re-marking, thereby improving practice efficiency while maintaining manageable system complexity through digital abstraction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical processes (physical marking, hand-drawn position charts) with automated electronic systems. The information processing device automatically calculates positions, generates visual confirmations, and manages formation data, substituting mechanical labor with computational processes to enhance productivity.
2Manufacturing precision
If complex formation patterns are marked using traditional methods, then flexibility in formation design is maintained, but the accuracy and precision of position marking deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic position calculation and confirmation where the information processing device performs measurements, computations, and visualizations autonomously. The device captures spatial data, calculates precise positions based on formation patterns, and generates confirmation displays without requiring manual measurement or complex marking operations, thereby achieving high precision while maintaining ease of operation.
3Measurement precision
If all performer positions are tracked individually using ID readers and tags, then real-time position confirmation accuracy is high, but the device complexity and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal position representation system where virtual position data can represent any performer or object in the performance space. Instead of requiring individual tracking systems for each performer, the system uses a unified approach where positions are defined by spatial coordinates and formation patterns, allowing the same mechanism to track any number of performers without proportionally increasing system complexity.
4Adaptability or versatility
If physical position markers are used on the performance floor, then position visualization is simple and direct, but the flexibility to modify formations and reconfigure positions is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic position representation system where formation patterns and position data can be easily modified, updated, and reconfigured. The virtual position data stored in the system can be changed without physical alterations to the performance space, allowing flexible adaptation of formations while maintaining simple implementation through digital storage and display mechanisms.

AI summary
[Problem] It is preferable to provide a technology that allows input of a position at which a person who performs a predetermined performance should be present to be easily performed in advance so that the position at which the person should be present is confirmed later.[Solution] Provided is an information processing device including a self-location acquisition unit configured to acquire self-position information of a mobile terminal in a global coordinate system linked to a real space, and a disposition position determination unit configured to acquire template data indicating a disposition pattern of at least one virtual object, and determine a position away from a current position of the mobile terminal indicated by the self-position information as a disposition position of a first virtual object in the global coordinate system, on the basis of the self-position information and the template data.
