Augmented Reality Home Decorator

Abstract

This project presents an application of Augmented Reality (AR) for interior design. Due to huge advancements in computer vision algorithms and cheap hardware, Augmented Reality is becoming mainstream. All over the world, most of the sales come from physical stores. Buying furniture from brick-and-mortar shops is cumbersome and time-consuming. AR is changing the furniture industry. In an AR environment, virtual furniture could be placed and manipulated in the physical world in real time, which allows the user to have an interactive experience. Users would be able to visualize exactly how a table would look in their kitchen, dining room, bedroom, or anywhere they want. When people can place an actual couch in the living room or visualize how a bookshelf would look in a Different color. The risk of product return and logistics is drastically reduced. As online stores replace brick-and-mortar shops. AR will play a vital role in the furniture sales. This project provides new ways an individual/enterprise could utilize AR to design interiors.
