Segmented Volumetric AR Content for Mix-and-Match Scene Creation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional volumetric content systems lack mechanisms to enable the creation of new augmented reality experiences by mixing and matching existing volumetric content items.
Innovation Solution
A volumetric content presentation system that allows users to mix and match volumetric content items from existing volumetric videos or images, enabling the creation of new augmented reality experiences by overlaying these items on a real-world environment, and using machine learning models to segment and combine elements like chairs and persons to create immersive AR scenes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional volumetric content systems are used, then the system structure is simple, but the system lacks mechanisms to enable creation of new augmented reality experiences by mixing and matching existing volumetric content items
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments volumetric content into separable content items that can be independently selected and combined. The system divides existing volumetric content into discrete elements that can be mixed and matched to create new AR experiences, enabling versatility without requiring complete new content creation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal platform that can handle multiple types of volumetric content items and apply various AR effects. The system is designed to work with different content formats and enable multiple creative operations (selection, combination, overlay) through a single interface, achieving multi-functionality while maintaining manageable complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users can mix and match volumetric content items to create new AR experiences, then the versatility and creativity of AR content increases, but the computational complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary segmentation and organization of volumetric content into reusable items before the user needs to create AR experiences. By pre-processing and structuring content in a modular format, the system reduces the computational complexity required during actual content creation and mixing operations.

AI summary
A volumetric content presentation system includes a head-worn display device, which includes one or more processors, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the display device to access AR content items that correspond to either real-world objects or virtual objects, mix and match these AR content items, and present volumetric content that includes these mixed and matched AR content items overlaid on a real-world environment to create a new AR scene that a user can experience.
