What technical problem is intended to be solved by this invention?

 

The Puzzletrackers solve the problem of accurately locating digital 3D objects in space. Current methods define QR trackers freely in space. These must then be precisely aligned with the digital reference points, or else display issues arise. These methods are very time-consuming and prone to high inaccuracies.

What is fundamentally new about the invention? / What is the core of the invention?

 

The core of the invention lies in the use of at least 3 QR trackers to generate a coordinate reference system (X, Y, and Z axes). The modular structure provides precise assembly options, enabling exact positioning, orientation, scaling, and overlay of digital objects in physical space.

How has the problem been solved so far? / What is the current state of the art?

 

QR trackers were distributed freely in space, and their positions were precisely measured relative to each other. The space and positions were then recreated exactly in 3D software.

What disadvantages do the known solutions have?

 

These methods are very time-consuming and error-prone, as even small deviations can lead to inaccuracies in the representation.

What essential or additional benefits are achieved by the invention?

 

• Quick setup and teardown of the tracking puzzles.

• Display of large 3D scenes is possible, as successfully tested.

• The modular construction allows for precise and easy placement of tracking points in the digital space, as successfully tested.

• Multiple individuals can experience the same objects with identical positioning in space. This is made possible by all users referencing the same coordinate reference system.

• Several individuals can experience the same digital scene in different locations. For this, a coordinate reference system is needed for each location. The 3D data is provided via a server, as successfully tested.

How is this task solved by the invention?

 

Through the modular construction of at least 3 QR puzzle trackers. Three points in space define the reference system. The connection between Tracker 1 & Tracker 2 is the X-axis. The connection between Tracker 1 & Tracker 3 is the Y-axis. The surface normal from Tracker 1, Tracker 2, & Tracker 3 at point P1 is the Z-axis.

What do you believe are the potential uses of this invention?

 

The use of this system is cross-industry. Through augmented reality devices and QR puzzles, users can accurately locate digital 3D objects anywhere in the real world. In the field of architecture, complex buildings can be accurately shown to multiple people to scale, whether as a sectional model on-site or collaboratively in a 1:1 model, either in-person or remotely through online meetings.

What are the advantages of this invention?

 

• Quick setup and teardown of the tracking puzzles.

• Display of large 3D scenes in all scales is possible.

• The modular construction allows for precise and easy placement of tracking points in the digital space.

• Multiple individuals can experience the same objects with identical positioning in space. This is made possible because all users reference the same coordinate reference system.

• Several individuals can experience the same digital scene in different locations. For this, a coordinate reference system is needed for each location. The 3D data is provided via a server.

• The 3D objects were discussed and modified in real-time.
