Visualizing Products and Designing the Interior Using Augmented Reality for Mobile Application

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is revolutionizing interior design by altering how individuals perceive and interact with spatial environments. This research focuses on collaborative efforts to develop an AR application that presents a novel method for visualizing and engaging with 3D designs within real spaces. The main goal is to enhance decision making processes for homeowners, designers and architects by harnessing smartphone capabilities. The application seamlessly integrates virtual objects into real environments, employing a unique methodology to showcase 3D house design using smartphone captured floor plan images. On the server side, advanced techniques such as deep learning are utilized to identify image corners and generate corresponding coordinates. These coordinates are then utilized by the smartphone application, powered by Unity 3D and integrated with Vuforia, to render 3D house model seamlessly onto the floor plan image. Rigorous testing validates the effectiveness of this application in generating accurate 3D house representations from various floor plans. This AR application provides users with fresh perspective on floor plans, simplifying comprehensive and active participation in the design process. By incorporating AR technology, this study signifies a significant advancement in how individuals approach and execute design ideas for their living.
