Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a three-dimensional environment is used for testing virtual experiences, then the realism and user experience are improved, but the device requirements and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a two-dimensional copy of the three-dimensional virtual environment that preserves the essential testing functionality. The simulator application renders 3D scenes on a 2D display, allowing testing of virtual experiences without requiring the actual 3D hardware, thus reducing device complexity while maintaining testing accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a simulator application as an intermediary layer between the test subject and the display device. This simulator acts as a mediator that translates 3D rendering requirements into 2D display output, enabling accurate testing of virtual experiences on simpler devices without direct 3D hardware
2Device complexity
If a two-dimensional display is used for testing, then the device complexity is reduced, but the realism of virtual experience evaluation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the three-dimensional virtual environment into a two-dimensional representation that retains the essential spatial relationships and visual characteristics. By properly projecting 3D scenes onto a 2D display, the system maintains testing accuracy while adapting to simpler device constraints
3Reliability
If direct interaction with three-dimensional virtual environments is required, then the user experience is improved, but the ease of operation and accessibility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a accessible two-dimensional copy of the three-dimensional testing environment, allowing users with diverse abilities to interact with and evaluate virtual experiences using standard 2D input devices, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining evaluation accuracy through the simulator's faithful reproduction of 3D behavior
