Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing virtual reality (VR) travel experiences lack personalization and fail to reflect the unique experiences of individual users, resulting in a lack of charm and value.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus and method that modifies images in a virtual space based on real-world images and evaluation information, such as user comments and photographer data, to personalize the VR experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If virtual space content is provided based on predetermined locations, then the basic VR travel function is achieved, but the experience lacks personalization and user uniqueness
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing user evaluation information (comments, ratings, biological data) during and after the VR travel experience. This pre-processed user data is then used to automatically generate personalized content modifications, eliminating the need for complex real-time analysis and reducing system complexity while maintaining personalization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing users to naturally provide evaluation information through their comments and biological measurements during the experience. This user-generated data automatically feeds into the personalization process, reducing the need for complex system-mediated data collection and processing.
2Loss of information
If user evaluation information is collected and processed, then personalized VR content is achieved, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential evaluation information elements needed for personalization (key comments, rating scores, significant biological data points) rather than processing all raw user data. This selective extraction reduces processing time while retaining the most valuable user experience information for content modification.
3Manufacturing precision
If the image in virtual space is changed based on multiple criteria, then the personalization quality improves, but the determination complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by modifying specific regions of the virtual space content based on relevant evaluation criteria rather than uniformly processing the entire content. For example, if a user comments about a particular location's atmosphere, only that specific area's images are modified, reducing determination complexity while maintaining high precision where needed.
