Author: Jayden TilbrookSupervisor: Prof. Wen Hu

Step 1

Create a 3D Scan of a room using a Google Tango smartphone or tablet

Step 2

Import the Scan into the PC Editor

Step 3

Drag furniture objects in and create your room plan!

What did we build?

The goal of this thesis was to use 3D Scanning technologies to revolutionise the process of room planning. Using a Google Tangosmartphone or tablet, users could capture a room of their choice in 3D. This model could then be brought over to a PC, where a room plancould be built just by dragging extra furniture in.

Why is this Awesome?

Technology such as this has many far reaching applications in both industry and research. It could let users try furniture in a space beforebuying it, or plan out their new home before they move in. Additionally, the system can act as a platform upon which to prototype new 3Dscanning and mesh reconstruction techniques.
