XR Object Visual Property Adaptation via Location-Based Theme Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies struggle to dynamically modify visual properties of objects in XR environments based on geographic locations, leading to a lack of personalized and contextually relevant visual experiences.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize an object customization engine to identify physical elements associated with a theme based on a device's geographic location, determining a value for a visual property, and displaying the object accordingly, thereby adapting visual properties to the device's location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If visual properties of objects in XR environments are modified dynamically based on geographic location, then personalization and contextual relevance are improved, but system complexity and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by obtaining device location data and identifying relevant physical elements before actually modifying the visual properties of XR objects. This advance preparation allows the system to have location-based customization ready without adding complexity during the actual rendering process, as the mapping between locations and visual properties is pre-established
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (the object customization engine) that mediates between the device location and the visual properties of XR objects. This intermediary layer processes location data and translates it into appropriate visual modifications, isolating the complexity of the customization logic from both the location sensing and the rendering systems
2Ease of operation
If visual properties are adjusted in real-time based on location data, then user engagement and immersion are enhanced, but processing time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates visual copies or representations of physical elements that correspond to the device location. Instead of performing complex real-time calculations for every visual property adjustment, the system uses pre-defined visual representations that are selected and applied based on location, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining the effect of dynamic customization

AI summary
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for modifying a visual property of an object based on a geographic location associated with a device. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a request to display an object that is associated with a set of one or more visual properties including a visual property that is dependent on a theme. Based on a particular theme, a set of one or more physical elements is identified that corresponds to the object. The one or more physical elements are associated with respective values for the visual property. A value for the visual property associated with the object is determined based on the respective values associated with the set of one or more physical elements. The object is displayed in accordance with the value for the visual property.
