We present MoCoShoP, a system that supports the collaborative process of shopping and planning furniture and interior items. The system consists of a mobile application running on the users' mobile phones and an interactive surface application deployed on shared planning desks in the furniture retail store environment. Users belonging together share a virtual shopping cart. By scanning labels a...

In the era of e-commerce while buying furniture online the customers obviously feel the need for visual representation of the arrangement of their furniture. Even when doing interiors of the house it's difficult to just rely on assumptions about best layouts possible and professional help may become quite expensive. In this project, we make use of Genetic Algorithm (GA) which is an Artificial I...

As part of a project sponsored by the Furniture Manufacturing and Management Center at North Carolina State University, an assessment of the use of CAD/CAM in the furniture industry in North Carolina and neighboring states was undertaken. The woods-based furniture industry, an important component of the North Carolina economy, is a manufacturing intensive activity for which CAD/CAM can provide ...

Web-enabling technologies represent the next generation of design environments to design and manufacture complex systems, such as them characterizing contract furniture. In the context of web applications to facilitate and support teamwork in collaborative product development, the paper presents a CAD-based infrastructure for the 3D visualization of co-designed solutions, the on-line customizat...

In accordance with the fundamental principles and methods of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), this paper has explored the design process and methods on modeling technique of furniture equipment through studying the computer-aided modeling design of modern furniture products; and builds up a complete set of 2D and 3D sketch design system through demonstrating the transformation of furniture pro...

BACKGROUND This study is aimed to examine the appropriacy of school furniture to Iranian pupils' anthropometric features. METHODS The participants in this cross-sectional study were 493 boys and 489 girls with the age-range of 7 to 12 years who were selected through a multistage random cluster sampling procedure. Age, weight, height, and anthropometric dimensions were determined. RESULTS Th...

This paper presents a procedural approach to generate furniture arrangements for large virtual indoor scenes. The interiors of buildings in 3D city scenes are often omitted. Our solution creates rich furniture arrangements for all rooms of complex buildings and even for entire cities. The key idea is to only furnish the rooms in the vicinity of the viewer while the user explores a building in r...

The problem of packing boxes into a large box is often a part of a larger problem. For example in furniture supply chain applications, one needs to decide what trucks to use to transport furniture between production sites and distribution centers and stores, such that the furniture fits inside. Such problems are often formulated and sometimes solved using generalpurpose integer programming solv...

We developed Smart Furniture, which extemporaneously converts the legacy non-smart space into a Smart Hot-spot which consists of computational services. Since the Smart Furniture is equipped with networked computers, sensors and various I/O devices, it can provide various services by alone or by coordinating with other devices. In this paper, the physical structure and middlewares for the Smart...
