Applying Augmented Reality to Interior Design

摘要

The human-computer interaction plays an important role in the design and implementation of interior design system because of the need of designconversation between the designer and the client and the need of designer's showcase of design artifacts to the client. This study proposes an augmented reality interior design system which not only offers a vivid 3D display and direct manipulation of design artifacts but also provides a tangible user interface to enhance the interaction and design-conversation between the designer and the client. To evaluate the usability of the proposed system, a usability questionnaire composed of efficiency, effectiveness, interaction, ease of use, and satisfaction constructs is conducted. The subjects consist of twelve volunteers with interior design experience at least two years. The results of the questionnaire indicate that the subjects show positive attitude toward the proposed system.
