VR Screen Control via Pointer and Sensor Input
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current VR technologies face limitations in user interface adjustment, particularly in input data processing and individualizing interfaces for specific users, making it difficult to change window sizes and configurations effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and electronic device for configuring and displaying VR screens using a user-controlled pointer that allows for the creation and modification of windows and contents in a 3D environment, utilizing various sensors such as gaze direction, eye tracking, and gesture recognition to visualize and edit window layouts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional VR interface methods are used, then basic VR functionality is provided, but user interface adjustment and customization capabilities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a pointer as an intermediary tool that mediates between the user's natural gestures and the VR interface elements. The pointer translates complex hand movements into precise selection and manipulation actions, enabling fine-grained interface customization without requiring complex direct manipulation of VR objects
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical control schemes (buttons, joysticks) with gaze-based selection and hand gesture recognition. This substitution allows users to interact with and customize VR interfaces through natural eye movements and hand gestures, significantly improving adaptability while reducing the perceived complexity of input processing
2Ease of operation
If fixed VR interface layouts are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but user interaction flexibility and personalization are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic VR interface layouts that can be freely adjusted during operation. Users can resize, reposition, and reconfigure windows and interface elements in real-time using the pointer and hand gestures, transforming static interfaces into flexible, adaptable configurations that respond to user needs without overwhelming complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the VR interface into independently controllable window elements that can be individually customized. Each window can be separately resized, moved, and configured, allowing users to manage interface elements in discrete units rather than as a monolithic structure, thereby improving ease of operation
