 ABSTRACT

Interactive Design using Virtual Reality is a concept for making and taking decisions
about home designs with the aid of Virtual Reality. It is a project for the real estate industry
where every customer prepares to buy his dream house on the basis of imagination and promises
made by the builder and architect .
The project aims to enable users to visualize and customize the In-house design before it
is built. Users can get 3-D view of the house how it would actually look after it is built and if
necessary changes needed then they can make it in real-time.
The project is a novel approach to provide unique immersive experience to the customer before
buying a house and provides multiple additional facilities.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Summary

Interactive Design Using Virtual Reality is a concept for changing the real estate world. It is a
project for interior designers and customers to view the design of the house in real time . It can be
the next innovation for interior designers and real estate industry which depends largely on
imagination and speculation of what might suit best according to design of the house.

Additionally, it will also be contain a color changing pallet which will be help user customize and
change wall colors, texture of materials of the house which will be done in real-time.

1.2 Problem Summary

 The real estate industry largely depends on imagination and speculation, both by the user and
customer. The builder and architects design the house according to their imaginations and
designs which may or may not be liked by the user, however the user never got a chance to
look at the design in the first place. 

 The modelling and designing in the real estate industry is generally done in a 2-D format, in a
sheet of A-4 paper or brochures. The customer might not be able to visualize the exact
dimensions of the house since it is impossible to be done in a 2-D Environment.

 A user/customer buying the house cannot change the design and colors of the house after it is
built. All he can do is regret not to have changed earlier

INTRODUCTION Chapter – 1

Application number : CN20161556918 20160715

Original Assignee :SHANGHAI ZHONGZHUANG NETWORK TECH CO LTD

Introduction :
The present invention relates to a virtual reality (VR) design-based home decoration design
system. The system comprises a database, a data updating module, a furniture home decoration
data acquisition module, a client, an information receiving module, an information sending unit, a
central processing unit, a three-dimensional effect generation module, a decoration budget
module, a man-machine operation module and a data sharing module. Since three-dimensional
virtual scenes are based on the real data of apartment patterns, and virtual imaging can be
performed on a decoration effect selected by a customer, and therefore, very accurate decoration
budgets can be automatically generated. With the system adopted, the prolonging of a
construction period due to the change of a decoration schemein an entire decoration process can
be avoided, and therefore, the severe fluctuation of the prices of decoration due to the prolonging
of the construction period can be avoided.

 SYSTEM ANALYSIS/DESIGN Chapter – 2

2. SYSTEM ANALYSIS
2.1 Study of current system

 The architect prepares 2-D Interior model of the house based on the exterior 
Specifications specified by the construction company.

 The brochure of the house is prepared by the construction company to provide details to
the potential customer.

 The customer is said to make a decision of buying the property based on the brochure and
claims made by the builder on the colors, materials used during construction.

2.2 Problems and weakness of current system

 Existing System doesn’t provide real time visualization.


 The design process is not customizable.

 There is no system which can make changes in real-time.


 Current system works on 2 dimensional modelling

 Current system dimensions may not accurate and may not present dimensions according
to the scale
SYSTEM ANALYSIS/DESIGN Chapter – 2

2.3 Features of new system

Our new system has totally new and extra features in the competition with the old one.
There are various features in the system like:

• With the assistance of virtual reality software; projects, designs and concepts can be
brought to life prior to execution, so no need to start breaking ground or buying materials.

• Giving designers the ability to finalize details through effective planning and visual
conceptualizations means that project viability can be determined much earlier in
the process

• These detailed and explicit plans can then be accurately communicated to contractors and
construction teams.

• Helps the designers to eliminate any scope of calculation error from creeping in.
Designers can let us walk through their designs and interact in endless possible ways

• Modify or hide walls, doors, windows, furniture, decorative objects or natural

and artificial light conditions, change the color of wall paint, add or remove
layers

• Infinite customization
