Virtual Scene Content Preview Windows for Clear Reference Links
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) environments, users struggle to accurately perceive reference relationships between contents, leading to inefficiencies in information retrieval and interaction experiences.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that detect references to secondary content within a primary window, simultaneously presenting both windows with an indication of their association, enhancing the visualization of these relationships.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple windows are displayed simultaneously in a virtual scene to show reference relationships, then the completeness of information presentation is improved, but the complexity of the display system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display system segments information by creating separate windows for different content types (preview window for referenced content, current window for active content). This allows simultaneous presentation of multiple information sources while maintaining clear visual separation and organizational structure, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes spatial positioning in three-dimensional virtual space to organize multiple windows. By arranging windows at different positions and orientations in 3D space rather than overlapping them in 2D, the system can display complete reference relationships without creating a complex flat interface, thus improving information presentation while managing display complexity.
2Measurement precision
If visual indications of association relationships are added between windows, then the clarity of reference relationships is improved, but the visual clutter in the virtual scene increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the association relationship information from the content windows themselves and presents it separately through dedicated visual indicators (such as connection lines or labels). This separation allows the reference relationships to be clearly indicated without embedding complex relationship data within the content display, thus improving clarity while minimizing visual clutter.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary visual elements (such as connection lines or indicator objects) that mediate between the content windows and the user. These intermediaries clearly show association relationships without requiring direct visual integration of window contents, thereby improving relationship clarity while keeping the overall scene organized and reducing clutter.

AI summary
According to the embodiments of this disclosure, methods, apparatuses, device, and storage medium for displaying content in a virtual scene are provided. A method includes: detecting a first reference to a second content in a first content contained in a first window presented in a virtual scene; in response to detecting the first reference, in the virtual scene: presenting the first window simultaneously with presenting a second window for displaying a preview of the second content; and presenting an indication representing an association relationship between the first reference and the second window.
