Performance Evaluation of Augmented Reality based 3D Modelling Furniture Application

The advances in information and computer technology allows humans to interact with both real and virtual world objects. Augmented Reality (AR) is one such technology that integrates digital information with the users' environment in real time. It superimposes virtual objects such as information, computer generated images etc. on the users' view of the real world. In this paper, we propose to develop and evaluate an android app with augmented reality based system “AR Furniture App”; which makes use of Kudan SDK to put the AR content onto natural features detected from the surroundings. Using this application the user can visualize how the furniture would look in the real world, offering preview of furniture in one's real environment. By the usage of this application, the furniture sellers can win competitive edge in the market. The system also prevents revenue loss to the business, spoilt brand image of the service provider, customer attrition and deterioration of stakeholders' interests as the customers can try visualizations of furniture placements in the available space before purchasing them.
