Volumetric Content Pre-Rendering for Seamless Display Mode Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Generating a volumetric representation of 2D content items is computationally expensive and time-consuming, leading to significant delays and undesirable visual artifacts during transitions between display modes, degrading the user experience.
Innovation Solution
Rendering volumetric objects before detecting a display mode transition and displaying the pre-rendered data in different modes, such as within a 2D content region or a representation of a physical environment, to facilitate seamless transitions without re-rendering.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a volumetric representation is generated in response to a display request, then the display can adapt to different display modes, but a large delay occurs during the rendering process
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-renders volumetric representations of 2D content items before they are needed for display. The volumetric representation is generated in advance and stored, so when a display request arrives and a mode change is detected, the pre-rendered volumetric data can be immediately displayed without waiting for the rendering process to complete, thereby eliminating the large delay while maintaining adaptability to different display modes
2Use of energy by moving object
If a volumetric representation is generated on-demand, then computational resources are used efficiently, but visual artifacts appear during transitions between display modes
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-renders volumetric representations in advance and stores them ready for display. When a mode change request is detected, the pre-rendered volumetric data is immediately available for display, ensuring smooth transitions without visual artifacts. This approach maintains computational efficiency by rendering only when needed while ensuring visual quality during transitions
3Ease of operation
If the rendering process is initiated upon receiving a display request, then the system responds to user needs, but the transition between display modes becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-renders volumetric representations and stores them ready for immediate display. When a display request is received and a mode change is detected, the pre-rendered volumetric data can be immediately displayed without waiting for the rendering process to complete, enabling smooth and fast transitions between display modes while maintaining ease of operation
