Project Title

The Decorum

Project Area of Specialization Augmented and Virtual RealityProject Summary

The problem with online shopping is that the customer doesn’t actually knows what the product will look like after it is delivered at their doorstep which makes the customer unsatisfied with the outcome of the product.

Our application will provide an interface to the customers to view the products in real life without actually buying the product. This thing will be done through AR where a customer will click on a product he wishes to buy, our app will show the product in customer mobile phones camera, he will be able to drag and place the product anywhere he wants and can see the outcome of the product without actually buying the product.

Project Objectives

1. 1.  

                        The project will be having the following main functionalities:

• 3d Object Tracking.
• Able to select angle of product.
• Take pictures while using AR.
• Share pictures.
• Select available color.
• Select available size.
• Search items.
• Click on product to see details of it on web(other project)
• Recommendation of products

Project Implementation Method

As our project is linked with another project, the first thing that we will do is that we will make an app which will be fetching data to our app from the database of the other project. Then if the customer searching on the web wants to see the product via AR, there will be an option beside the product on the web, like (“Click to check this product on AR”), then from there our Application will open on customers mobile, app will first ask the customer for permission to open camera, then the customer can check out the product by placing it anywhere he/she likes in his/her room. Customer can also check out the sizes in which that product is available, suppose if the customers selects a vase of medium size than the order of selected size will go towards the web and from there customer can check out.

            For a new customer, not coming directly from the Web Button but installing our app directly from Play store. The App will first ask permission of camera and then the app will open. He will see a list of items that our currently available on the web. If he wishes to check out the product, he can click on it and see details or he can check that product in AR and then checkout towards the web to further process the order. There will also be buttons of login and signup which will redirect users towards web and from there they will be able to login or make a new account.

Benefits of the Project

In the field of interior designing, the increased augmented reality could not fully take control. Today, people are familiar with the technology and operate smartphones that support AR. Thus, the idea of developing an interior design application leads the designer to be technologically advanced. Moreover, our app ‘DECORUM’ aims to achieve several other objectives which are as follows:

• Improve customer’s experience in online shopping: The project aims at providing the use of their smartphones to customers with a realistic picture of the furniture. Therefore, the user can then open the camera on the smartphone to see the selected product in AR from the list. Users can therefore immediately see how well the product is and whether it meets their needs and preferences, without the hassle of going to showrooms or travelling out.
• Provide the featured product with realistic 3D view: It is not enough to encourage users to display the products only from an angle so the application should be able to calibrate the 3D model with information provided for correct positioning of the products. Users will also switch around the products to see how it feels from different viewpoints. In addition, anchors should be positioned on the plane surface to the object on which the camera is aimed. This stops the movement of products from shifting with the smartphone thus making it impossible to watch from a certain perspective.
• Provide the real-world atmosphere with correct live size: The project must be able to view the items in a live format so that customers can ensure that the product blends into the actual space available. Therefore, having a live scale view helps create a practical environment for customers as if they had bought the items, however it disappears automatically when the application is closed.
• Allow the application to be easily maintained: Since the project is used on the online platform, developers need to be able to effectively perform software maintenance. Developers should also be able to add models to the application's database, which should automatically represent the application data retrieval. Therefore, users can instantly view new products and take a look at the product with AR.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The objective of this project is to take online shopping to a next level with AR. This project will help the customers to buy the products that will suit with their room by placing it virtually in their room or at anyplace they want and see how the product will look.
