Multiuser Interior Design over the Internet

This paper presents a Web-based interior design application named multiuser interior design (MID). We use technologies from virtual reality (VR), the Web, and database to implement MID. It allows users to operate in the VR fashion, interacting with objects in the 3D, virtual space. Users need only a Web browser to view and elaborate designs, examine furniture, place purchase orders, etc. MID contains many useful functions and features Web-based multiuser collaboration. We introduce the user-interface and main functions of MID that users will operate. The technical aspect of MID, including software architecture and underlying technologies, is also presented. MID can be easily modified for other purposes; only information-related portions need modification, and the other portions serve as reusable framework
