The development of 3‐D visualization technology: the potential impact on interior design and its consumers

Abstract

Three-dimensional visualization has developed and improved significantly over the last several decades and resulted in consumers' having multidimensional, multi-sensory experiences with a wide range of products and services. It has affected the built environment and its related businesses. Designers create 3-D images and walk-through animations to communicate with their clients more clearly, starting from the early stage of the design process. The interior-design-related material manufacturers and retailers have enhanced their online stores with 3-D visualization features to improve their interactivity and provide user-friendly interfaces for product information search and purchase planning. Because of the continuing widespread interest in 3-D visualization and the amount of its applications in the interior design field, a review of this area was a necessity to suggest the future research direction for the development of 3-D visualization in interior design. This paper sought to demonstrate the status of the development of 3-D visualization and its impact on the interior design field and its consumers while highlighting an area where future research is a potentially considerable benefit in developing 3-D visualization in interior design.

Consumer responses toward smart technology: A systematic review, synthesis, and future research agenda

“…The independent variables highly visited in this theme include interactivity (Chan et al, 2022; Chang et al, 2014; Goh & Ping, 2014; Kahn, 2017; Kim et al, 2021; Li et al, 2021; Ning Shen & Khalifa, 2012; Petit et al, 2022; Qin et al, 2021; Ramani & Kumar, 2008; Suh & Lee, 2005; Willems et al, 2019; Yim et al, 2017), vividness (Choudhary et al, 2021; Lee, 2009; Ning Shen & Khalifa, 2012; Suh & Lee, 2005; Yang & Xiong, 2019; Zhang et al, 2018), immersion (Kowalczuk et al, 2021; Petit et al, 2022; Vishwakarma et al, 2020; Yim et al, 2017), enjoyment (Chan et al, 2022; Chung et al, 2018; Lee, Zhao, & Lee, 2019; Manis & Choi, 2019; Nascimento et al, 2018; Pillai et al, 2020; Roy et al, 2017; Yang & Xiong, 2019; Yim et al, 2017; Yim & Park, 2019), innovativeness (Chung et al, 2015; Flavián et al, 2022; Ing et al, 2020; Lee & Shin, 2018; Pillai et al, 2020), ease of use (Chung et al, 2015; Chung et al, 2018; Flavián et al, 2022; Lee, Kim, & Choi, 2019; Pillai et al, 2020), perceived usefulness (Chung et al, 2018; Flavián et al, 2022; Kowalczuk et al, 2021; Lee, Kim, & Choi, 2019; Nascimento et al, 2018; Pillai et al, 2020; Vishwakarma et al, 2020; Yim & Park, 2019), perceived security (Chan et al, 2022; Flavián et al, 2022; Lim et al,…”

Investigating online consumers’ responses to product presentation modes

“…It is a simulated environment where users can interact with virtual objects (i.e. pet products in this study) through a mediating technology (Lee, 2009). Based on the degree of immersion into the virtual environment, VR systems can be divided into three categories: fully immersive systems, non-immersive desktop systems and semi-immersive projection systems (Mujber et al , 2004).…”

“…A non-immersive VR simulates the virtual environment on a computer screen for users to experience: users manipulate and interact with the environment using input devices such as mice, keyboards, joysticks and trackballs (Lee, 2009; Mujber et al , 2004). Non-immersive VR applications are less expensive and more commonly used (Lee, 2009; Mujber et al , 2004) and can induce a certain degree of immersion for users, although the degree of immersion is lower than semi-immersive and fully immersive systems (Mujber et al , 2004). Past studies have examined non-immersive VR systems and indicated that virtual product experiences work better than traditional offline presentation modes or the base interface condition (i.e.…”

“…Daugherty et al , 2008; Jiang and Benbasat, 2007b; Suh and Lee, 2005). Numerous computer manufacturers and retailers, automobile companies and apparel and footwear retailers provide basic interactive features on their e-shops (Lee, 2009), which is similar to a non-immersive VR system. Hence, since non-immersive VR systems seem to be a technological and economically feasible option for e-shops to immerse online shoppers, this study focused on a non-immersive VR system.…”

Designing Airport Interiors with 3D Visualizations

“…the look and feel of the premisesas well as the processes and encounters between people. In PASSME [10] we focused on enhancing passengers experience at airports, through optimizing interiors, luggage flow and offering real-time personalized information. In the remaining sections of the paper, we are discussing the design process adopted within our present research and highlight key findings.…”
