METHOD AND APPARATUS OF PROVIDING MIXED REALITY COMBINED PHYSICAL SPACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240046574 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS OF PROVIDING MIXED REALITY COMBINED PHYSICAL SPACE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for creating a mixed reality physical space by converting a traditional physical space. This is achieved by controlling an actuator that unfolds a curtain or blind to suppress reflection of light on the front and wall surfaces of the physical space. Additionally, the illumination of the lighting in the mixed reality physical space can be controlled to lower or increase the illumination at specific level intervals or continuously. This improves the quality of the mixed reality content provided to the physical space by controlling the lighting.
- The method involves converting a traditional physical space into a mixed reality physical space.
- An actuator is used to control a curtain or blind that suppresses reflection of light on the front and wall surfaces of the physical space.
- The illumination of the lighting in the mixed reality physical space can be adjusted to lower or increase the illumination at specific level intervals or continuously.
- Controlling the lighting improves the quality of the mixed reality content provided to the physical space.
Potential Applications
- Virtual reality gaming and entertainment experiences in physical spaces.
- Augmented reality presentations and exhibitions in museums or galleries.
- Mixed reality training simulations for various industries such as healthcare or aviation.
- Immersive virtual meetings and conferences.
Problems Solved
- Reflection of light on front and wall surfaces can interfere with the quality of mixed reality content.
- Inadequate lighting can negatively impact the immersive experience in a mixed reality physical space.
Benefits
- Improved quality of mixed reality content by controlling the lighting and suppressing reflections.
- Enhanced immersion and realism in mixed reality experiences.
- Increased versatility and adaptability of physical spaces for various applications.
- Better user experience and engagement in mixed reality environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for providing a mixed reality combined physical space, performed by an electronic controller of a physical space, may comprise: receiving a signal for conversion from a traditional physical space to a mixed reality physical space; controlling an operation of an actuator coupled to a curtain or blind that suppresses reflection of light on front and wall surfaces of a physical space according to an input of the signal such that the curtain or blind is unfolded; and controlling an illumination of a lighting of the mixed reality physical space to lower or increase the illumination at a specific level interval or continuously, wherein a quality of mixed reality content provided to the mixed reality physical space is improved by controlling the illumination of the lighting.
