Applied Research on Interactive 3D Virtual Environment Design for Supporting Interior Refurbishment

Abstract

Building interior design based on 2D diagrams and renderings will cause clients lack of understandings, which will lead to poor information coordination, thus the quality and efficiencies of decision-making will be affected, therefore, a new method need to be proposed for filling this gap. This research has studied the theories of interaction design and has explored the methods of interaction technologies base on the information demand in interior design projects to propose a workflow for developing interaction system. The proposed workflow and the developed interaction system follows BIM paradigm under ISO 19650 regarding to information management. The workflow and the system has been tested in a real project for making evaluation, which achieves good results for guiding future interior design projects.
