Synthesized 3D models with smartphone based MR to modify the PreBuilt environment: interior design

Abstract

The past few years have seen an increase in the number of products that use AR and VR as well as the emergence of products in both these categories i.e. Mixed Reality. However, current systems are exclusive to a market that exists in the top 1% of the population in most countries due to the expensive and heavy technology required by these systems. This project showcases a system in the field of Smartphone Based Mixed Reality through an Interior Design Solution that allows the user to visualise their design choices through the lens of a smartphone. Our system uses Image Processing algorithms to perceive room dimensions alongside a GUI which allows a user to create their own blueprints. Navigable 3D models are created from these blueprints, allowing users to view their builds. Following this, Users switch to the mobile application for the purpose of visualising their ideas in their own homes (MR). This System/POC showcases the potential of MR as a field that can be explored for a larger portion of the population through a more efficient medium.
