Abstract
Augmented reality has a high potential in interior design due to its capability of visualizing numerous prospective designs directly in a target room. In this paper, we present our research on utilization of augmented reality for interactive and personalized furnishing. We propose a new algorithm for automated interior design which generates sensible and personalized furniture configurations. This algorithm is combined with mobile augmented reality system to provide a user with an interactive interior design try-out tool. Personalized design is achieved via a recommender system which uses user preferences and room data as input. We conducted three user studies to explore different aspects of our research. The first study investigated the user preference between augmented reality and on-screen visualization for interactive interior design. In the second user study, we studied the user preference between our algorithm for automated interior design and optimization-based algorithm. Finally, the third study evaluated the probability of sensible design generation by the compared algorithms. The main outcome of our research suggests that augmented reality is viable technology for interactive home furnishing.

Summary
Home furnishing with new furniture is often a challenging task due to several pitfalls between selection of furniture in a shop and its composition in a target room. One of these pitfalls is the lack of imagination in relation to the target room and to other furniture when an item is seen in the shop Another problem in home furnishing is to ensure that selected furniture has correct dimensions for the target room. Once the furniture is purchased, a home owner may want to try multiple spatial configurations in the target room which is physically demanding and time-consuming. These problems can be addressed by utilizing augmented reality (AR) technology. The user’s flat may be empty, but the complexity is significantly increased if the user has some furniture items he might want to keep and just add a couple of new ones
