Week 3 ( Final Proposal)

Title

Simulation- Architecture- Material & Lighting

Abstract

User is allowed to change and adjust lighting (e.g. Light fixtures, Intensity) and materials (e.g. Wall Paper, Flooring) to design their future home,without much spending and wastage of materials in order to not spend on future renovations.

Target Audience

The Goal of this application is to allow user to design lighting and adjust materials according to their liking. Nowadays, money is an issue to most of the society, buying a new home can be a burden but what if the user is allowed to adjust what they need in their home to cut cost on renovations. Virtual Reality allows the user to accomplish all this, with a click of a button. This project has been done on rendered images, but now applying Virtual Reality with the Oculus Rift, user is allowed to change and adjust in real-time.
