Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices for virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality lack a convenient and adjustable wearing mechanism that accommodates different use environments and user interactions.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device design featuring a goggle frame with a display, a rotatable supporter, and adjustable straps, including a main strap with elastic connectors and an auxiliary strap system, allowing for customizable wearing modes based on content type, such as static or dynamic experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed wearing mechanism is used, then the structure is simple, but the adaptability to different use environments and content types is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a rotatable supporter that can pivot between different angular positions, allowing the display to dynamically adjust its orientation. This dynamic adjustment mechanism enables the device to adapt to various wearing scenarios (e.g., resting on nose, resting on forehead) without requiring multiple fixed structures, thus improving adaptability while maintaining reasonable complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The supporter structure serves multiple functions: it acts as both a structural support element and an adjustable positioning mechanism. By incorporating rotation capability into the supporter, a single component achieves multiple wearing modes (static and dynamic experiences), eliminating the need for separate mechanisms for each function
2Adaptability or versatility
If an adjustable wearing mechanism is implemented, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wearing mechanism is divided into distinct modular components: the supporter, main strap, auxiliary strap, and various connectors (first strap connector, second strap connector, auxiliary strap connector). This segmentation allows each component to be independently optimized and adjusted, making the overall complex system manageable and adaptable to different configurations
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic material used in the main strap provides dynamic adjustment capability through elastic deformation, allowing the strap length and tension to automatically adapt to different head sizes and wearing preferences without requiring complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms
3Ease of operation
If the display is positioned far from the face, then the device is more comfortable to wear, but the image immersion decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The rotatable supporter enables dynamic positioning of the display relative to the user's face. The supporter can be rotated to adjust the display's angle and distance from the face, allowing users to find the optimal balance between comfort (greater distance) and immersion (appropriate proximity), with the system adapting to individual preferences
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device provides improved wearing comfort and image immersion by distributing the load and adjusting the facial pressure, enabling seamless transitions between different use environments and content types.
