An interactive interior design syatem using desktop virtual reality technology
In the design plan of a living room,
a 3D simulation
can provide
a much better
sense
of what and how the living room
would look like. This 3D simulation can
provide
better perception of the living room plan rather than simply sketches,
drawings, or catalogues.
Generally, the objective of this project is to design and
develop a virtual interior design of a living room which allows the users to
visualize and also change some of the attributes of the living room using the VR
system to their own preferences.
For this project, two virtual living rooms with
two different sets of interior design we
re constructed.
The virtual living room was
constructed using V
RML text editor as well as 3ds M
ax 7 software. Software such
as
Adobe Photoshop CS and
Microsoft Visual
Basic 6.0
has been chosen as the
tools for designing and developing the interface of the virtual
living room control
panel.
The system developed enables the user to change the color and texture of
some of the furnishing attributes as well as being able to switch the lamps on or
off.
The system’s usability is evaluated using the Cooperative Evaluation
Technique that
brings together designer and user in a cooperative context. With
the VR system that is able to navigate, define and modify the living room
virtually,
this system can play an important role as a user interface system for
virtual experience
