Wearable AR Visual Object Control for Motion-Responsive Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality devices struggle to dynamically adjust visual objects in response to user motions and interactions with external objects, leading to potential occlusion and reduced visibility.
Innovation Solution
A wearable device equipped with sensors and processors that detect user and external object motions, allowing it to dynamically change visual objects in the field of view based on predefined motions and object information, enhancing visibility and interaction with external objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If visual objects are displayed in AR to provide enhanced user experience, then user experience is improved, but visibility of external objects may be reduced due to occlusion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making visual objects movable and adjustable based on detected user motions. The system continuously updates visual object positions and characteristics in response to sensor data, transforming static AR displays into dynamic ones that adapt to user behavior, thereby resolving the occlusion issue while maintaining enhanced user experience
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by using sensors to detect user motions and external object motions, then using this information to automatically adjust visual object displays. This closed-loop control ensures that visual objects are repositioned or modified based on real-time user interactions, preventing occlusion while preserving the enhanced user experience
2Ease of operation
If visual objects remain static to simplify device operation, then ease of operation is improved, but visibility and interaction with external objects are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the AR system to automatically adjust visual objects based on sensor-detected motions without requiring manual user control. The system serves itself by using its own sensor data to make display adjustments, eliminating the need for complex user interfaces while improving visibility and interaction with external objects

AI summary
A wearable device may display a visual object within a user's field-of-view (FoV) and obtain motion information indicating a motion related to the user from a camera and a sensor. The wearable device may identify whether the motion indicated by the motion information corresponds to a motion specified in object information matched to the visual object change the visual object based on the object information, based on identifying the motion corresponding to the specified motion.
