VR Content Display Method for Key Information Clarity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In virtual reality (VR) live broadcasts, key information areas such as equipment stats and maps are often unclear due to limited resolution and viewing angles, leading to a less immersive experience for users.
Innovation Solution
A VR content display method and apparatus that identifies and renders key information areas closer to the user's line of sight, using a render mesh to display this information prominently within the VR environment, enhancing visibility and immersion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If key information areas are displayed in the original VR panoramic image, then the immersive experience is maintained, but the resolution and clarity of key information become insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is segmented into two distinct components: the original VR panoramic image display and the key information area display. The key information area is extracted and displayed separately on the second display device, allowing high-resolution presentation without compromising the immersive VR environment.
Solution Approach 2:
A processing device acts as an intermediary between the VR content source and the display devices. This intermediary extracts key information areas from the VR panoramic image and transmits them to the second display device, enabling enhanced clarity while maintaining the original immersive display.
2Measurement precision
If a second display device is added to show key information areas, then the clarity of key information improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The processing device performs multiple functions: it processes the VR panoramic image, identifies key information areas, and manages transmission to both display devices. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of requiring users to interact with the original low-resolution key information areas in the VR panoramic image, the system creates a high-resolution copy of these areas and displays them on the second display device, enabling clear viewing without altering the original immersive display.
3Ease of operation
If the original VR panoramic image is displayed without modification, then the immersive experience is maintained, but key information areas remain difficult to view clearly
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from a single-dimensional display (original VR panoramic image only) to a multi-dimensional display system. The key information areas are presented in an additional dimension through the second display device, allowing users to access detailed information without leaving the immersive VR environment.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application disclose a virtual reality content display method performed at a computing device, the method including the following processing steps: receiving a video stream including a sequence of video frames and obtaining a video frame to be displayed from the video stream; identifying a preset key information area in the video frame; rendering the video frame on an imaging panel, to form a virtual reality content image for display; determining that the preset key information area is being viewed by a user along a line of sight direction on the imaging panel; and in accordance with the determination, displaying a render mesh at a predetermined position between the imaging panel and a virtual camera collocated with the user and displaying the preset key information area at a position closer to the user along the line of sight direction.
