Abstract:

We present a novel interactive design tool that allows users to
create and visualize gallery walls via a mixed reality device. To
use our tool, a user selects a wall to decorate and chooses a focal
art item. Our tool then helps the user complete their design by
optionally recommending additional art items or automatically
completing both the selection and placement of additional art
items. Our tool holistically considers common design criteria such
as alignment, color, and style compatibility in the synthesis of a
gallery wall. Through a mixed reality device, such as a Magic Leap
One headset, the user can instantly visualize the gallery wall
design in situ and can interactively modify the design in
collaboration with our tool's suggestion engine. We describe the
suggestion engine and its adaptability to users with different
design goals. We also evaluate our mixed-reality-based tool for
creating gallery wall designs and compare it with a 2D interface,
providing insights for devising mixed reality interior design
applications.
