Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a wearable device is used to provide augmented reality service, then the user can experience virtual information added to real space, but the variety and flexibility of virtual object display and interaction are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides functionality between two devices: the wearable device handles AR display and basic interaction, while the mobile device provides additional control capabilities and virtual object management. This segmentation allows each device to operate within its strengths, improving overall versatility without requiring one device to be overly complex
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile device acts as an intermediary that receives user inputs and translates them into control commands for virtual objects displayed on the wearable device. This mediator approach enables flexible interaction schemes where the mobile device bridges the gap between user input and AR display, enhancing interaction variety without direct complexity in the wearable device
2Ease of operation
If the mobile device controls and adjusts the display of virtual objects on the wearable device, then user experience and functionality are enhanced, but the system requires establishing communication connection and data transmission between devices
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as a communication hub for establishing connections with the wearable device, a control center for processing user inputs, and a virtual object manager for adjusting display parameters. This multi-functionality consolidates complex operations into a single device that users already possess, improving ease of operation without adding device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback loops where the mobile device receives user inputs, processes them, and sends adjusted virtual object display parameters back to the wearable device. This feedback mechanism enables dynamic adjustment of AR displays based on user interactions, enhancing user experience through responsive control while managing communication complexity through structured data exchange protocols
