Kinect Real Estate Customization
A virtual reality interior customization application developed for a real-estate focused Final Year Project. The experience allowed users to design and modify room interiors using gesture-based interactions, including furniture placement, wall customization, runtime asset importing, and room persistence systems.
Overview
This project was built as an interactive VR-based interior customization platform where users could freely design and personalize virtual living spaces.
The application allowed users to:
- Customize room interiors in real time
- Modify wall colors and materials
- Place, rotate, and scale furniture objects
- Import custom 3D furniture assets at runtime
- Save and reload edited room layouts
- Navigate environments using gesture-driven interaction systems
A major focus of the project was creating intuitive controller-free interaction using Kinect hand gesture recognition.
Technical Break Down
Contributions
Integrated Kinect hardware and developed gesture-driven interaction systems for navigating and manipulating the environment.
Responsibilities included:
- Implementing Kinect hand gesture recognition
- Creating gesture controls for object placement and manipulation
- Enabling gesture-based player movement and navigation
- Designing interaction logic for controller-free VR workflows
The interaction system focused on making room customization feel natural and accessible through motion-based input.
Developed custom user input systems for handling both UI interactions and 3D object manipulation.
This included:
- Coding a custom interaction/input module
- Handling mouse and gesture-based interaction pipelines
- Implementing object selection and placement systems
- Supporting interaction between UI systems and world-space objects
The system was designed to support flexible interaction workflows across both desktop and VR use cases.
Implemented the core room customization systems used throughout the application.
Features included:
- Changing wall colors and materials
- Rotating, scaling, and repositioning furniture
- Free room navigation and scene interaction
- Manipulating objects across all transformation axes
The project emphasized real-time visual feedback and intuitive editing workflows.
Developed an inventory system for managing furniture and prop assets.
This included:
- Organizing predefined and imported furniture assets
- Creating asset browsing and placement workflows
- Integrating inventory interaction into the UI system
- Supporting runtime spawning and editing of objects
Designed and programmed all menus and interface systems used throughout the experience. Responsibilities included: creating room customization menus designing user-friendly editing workflows integrating UI systems with gesture and mouse interaction building save/load management interfaces The interface was designed to remain lightweight and intuitive despite the large number of customization features.
Implemented functionality for saving and reloading customized room configurations.
This included:
- Saving edited room layouts and object states
- Storing transformation and customization data
- Loading previously saved room configurations
- Allowing users to continue editing saved environments
This persistence system enabled iterative room design workflows similar to professional interior planning tools.
