VR Display Method for Self-Inclusion via Viewer Image Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users in Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR) experiences often fail to immerse themselves fully in virtual scenes as they cannot see themselves integrated into the environment, lacking the 'self-inclusion' effect, such as not being visible in virtual mirrors or unable to take selfies within the scene.
Innovation Solution
A display method and apparatus that detect specific viewer actions or conditions to switch from a first image of a scene to a second image, incorporating a character image of the viewer into the scene, allowing self-inclusion by displaying the viewer within the virtual environment based on predefined actions or conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a virtual scene is displayed for users to experience, then the user can interact with the virtual environment, but the user cannot see themselves integrated into the scene, reducing immersion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the user (character image) and integrates it into the virtual scene. This copy represents the user within the virtual environment, allowing the user to see themselves as part of the scene through the display device, thereby resolving the contradiction between interacting with the virtual environment and seeing oneself integrated.
2Ease of operation
If the display shows only the virtual scene without the user, then the virtual environment appears complete, but the user lacks self-recognition and immersion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the virtual scene display with the user's own image (character image) into a single integrated display output. By combining the virtual environment rendering with the user's visual representation, the system achieves self-inclusion without requiring separate display devices, thus improving immersion while controlling overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a virtual copy of the user and integrates it into the scene display. This copying approach allows the user to see themselves in the virtual environment without requiring complex multi-display systems or physical mirrors, maintaining simplicity while achieving self-recognition.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system continuously displays the complete scene with the user, then self-inclusion is achieved, but the display cannot focus on specific scene portions when needed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the virtual scene into different portions and allows selective display of these portions. The system can display the complete scene with the user integrated, or focus on specific areas of interest while maintaining the user's presence. This segmentation capability provides flexibility in scene display while preserving self-inclusion when needed.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a display method. The display method includes displaying a first image based on a first scene; detecting whether a first condition is satisfied; and displaying a second image based on the first condition being satisfied. The first image is an image corresponding to a first portion of the first scene, the second image includes a character image of a viewer and an image of a second portion of the first scene, and the first portion is different from the second portion.
