VR Image Intervention System for Obstacle Guidance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current virtual and augmented reality systems fail to effectively guide users' movements and interactions, particularly in environments where obstacles are present or specific actions are required, leading to safety concerns and limitations in immersive experiences.
Innovation Solution
An image processing system comprising a motion detection module, dynamic image processing module, and intervention instruction module that detects user motion, generates intervention instructions, and dynamically adjusts images to guide user behavior, using an intervention parameter offset value to deflect the image display and influence user movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the user is allowed to move freely in VR/AR environments, then the immersion and freedom of experience are improved, but safety problems occur when obstacles are present
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors user motion through motion detection modules and provides real-time feedback by generating intervention instructions when potential hazards are detected. The feedback loop compares actual user motion with desired motion, and adjusts the displayed image to guide the user away from obstacles while maintaining immersion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary intervention instruction module that acts as a mediator between the user's movement intentions and the actual movement execution. This module generates subtle visual cues through image deflection that indirectly guide the user around obstacles without breaking immersion or requiring direct control intervention.
2Ease of operation
If the image display is deflected to guide user movement, then user behavior intervention is achieved, but the naturalness of user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The intervention is applied locally and selectively rather than globally. The system only deflects the image when specific conditions are met (hazard detection, boundary approach), and applies minimal deflection angles that are just sufficient to guide the user. This localized intervention maintains naturalness while achieving behavioral guidance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies partial action by using small deflection angles that are less than what would be needed for complete control, allowing the user to maintain primary control. The deflection is excessive only in the sense that it exceeds what the user would naturally do, but remains within acceptable limits to preserve experience quality.
3Reliability
If motion detection and intervention modules are added to the system, then user safety and behavior control are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The motion detection module serves multiple functions: it detects user motion for basic VR/AR operation, identifies potential hazards, determines when intervention is needed, and provides feedback for the intervention mechanism. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the intervention instruction generation with the existing image rendering pipeline. The intervention module integrates with the dynamic image generation process, combining safety functions with the core display function rather than operating as a completely separate system.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a system and method for image processing, the method includes: detecting and acquiring actual motion information that a user applies on the virtual reality system or the augmented reality system; dynamically generating an image imposed with an intervention instruction based on the actual motion information and the intervention instruction when receiving the intervention instruction; displaying the image imposed with an intervention instruction, so as to affect and intervene the user's behavior. Through this method, the present disclosure may affect and intervene user's behavior.
