Abstract

This paper designs and implements a virtual demonstration system for furniture. First, in order to let users virtually dispose furniture, showing the best effect of furniture in the virtual environment, we model different series of a company's furniture and common houses, and create panoramic pictures and transition videos with 3D Max and image processing tools, realizing walkthrough of the furnished house. Secondly, our system adopts Open Scene Graph (OSG) platform to realize virtual demonstration of the furniture. Users can add, delete and move the 3D furniture in the virtual houses. Third, the system supports furniture demonstration in a real house. Users can import the photos of their own houses, and then dispose the selected furniture on these photos, to see the whole effect of furniture in their own real houses. The experiment result shows that the system makes customers be personally on the scene and can boost up users' purchase desire.
