Mixed reality in the 3D virtual room arrangement

This research implements Mixed Reality to develop an innovative application in the virtual room arrangement in order to plan, design, and arrange the furniture at home. Mixed reality is a technology that combines the Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). Mixed Reality is also described as VR that is used in the real environment and it also implements the AR that is used in the VR additional device. This research aims to explore the Mixed Reality technology in the virtual room arrangement application using the Google Card Board. The result shows that this research can be a new innovation in the human-computer interaction using the Mixed Reality technology. In this research, the fingertip is used as input pointer to interact with the virtual environment. This methodology represents the combination of the VR technology and the AR technology. The methodology that is used to implement this fingertip in this Mixed Reality environment is called hand segmentation. This application developed is Android platform. Unity 3D is the game engine used in this research.
