VR Musical Performance Distribution for Continuous Neurotrauma Therapy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing music therapy methods for neurotrauma patients require the presence of nursing staff and rehabilitation centers, limiting accessibility and continuity of treatment.
Innovation Solution
A system enabling interactive participation of neurotrauma patients in musical performances through a VR-based platform, allowing real-time or pre-recorded 360-degree video and audio transmission, with communication tools integrated into VR glasses, for remote music therapy sessions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional music therapy methods are used with nursing staff and rehabilitation centers, then therapeutic quality is maintained, but accessibility and continuity of treatment are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the concert hall experience by transmitting 360-degree video and audio signals to VR glasses worn by patients. This allows patients to participate in music therapy remotely without requiring physical presence at rehabilitation centers, thereby improving accessibility while maintaining therapeutic quality through immersive virtual reality simulation of the live performance environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a communication system as an intermediary between the concert hall and the patient's location. This intermediary transmits video, audio, and enables two-way communication, allowing patients to interact with musicians and therapists remotely. This resolves the contradiction by eliminating the need for direct physical presence while maintaining the therapeutic interaction quality.
2Reliability
If live broadcast with 360-degree video and stereophonic sound is transmitted to VR glasses, then patient immersion and therapeutic effect are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the VR glasses a multi-functional device that simultaneously displays 360-degree video, reproduces stereophonic sound, and provides communication capabilities. By consolidating these functions into a single wearable device, the system achieves high therapeutic effectiveness through immersive experience while managing complexity through integration rather than separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical requirement of physical presence at a concert hall with an electronic transmission system. Instead of requiring patients to travel to and physically attend live performances, the system uses digital transmission of video and audio signals to deliver the same therapeutic experience remotely, reducing system complexity in terms of patient logistics while maintaining therapeutic reliability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If two-way communication between patient and musicians is enabled, then patient engagement and therapy effectiveness are enhanced, but system requirements and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the communication function with the existing VR glass system and concert hall infrastructure. By integrating two-way communication capabilities into the immersive video transmission system, the patent enables patient-musician interaction without requiring entirely separate communication equipment. This combines multiple functions (immersive viewing, audio reception, and communication) into a unified system, enhancing adaptability while managing complexity through integration.
Data Source
AI summary
The invention relates more particularly to a system (1) for distributing musical performance directed at neurotrauma patients, which comprises means (10) for sending a musical performance via a data network (8), wherein the musical performance is a 360-degree video transmission and comprises an audio track. The system further comprises means (9) for receiving the musical performance and means (5) for presenting the musical performance, wherein the means (5) for presenting the musical performance are VR (Virtual Reality) glasses that are adapted to be placed on the patient. The system is adapted to reproduce the 360-degree video transmission for the patient via the VR glasses (5) placed on the patient in such a way that the patient can participate virtually in the musical performance regardless of his/her location.
