Interior design is a process of designing, planning, and creating an environment within a space to meet the needs of its occupants. Interior design also plays a crucial role in creating a space that fulfills users’ physical and spiritual needs while maintaining aesthetic aspects. However, to visualize interior designs in real-time, homeowners often face limitations in physically moving furniture into the room to see the exact positions. Therefore, a system is needed to assist in decision-making during interior design. This paper discussed the integration of markerless augmented reality methods with the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm to map the surrounding environment as a basis for determining the position of virtual objects. The system developed in this research enabled users to view virtual objects such as furniture in real-time within the existing space without physically moving or shifting furniture. Users could select the desired furniture, and the system accurately displayed the objects in the appropriate scale and position based on the environment mapping performed using SLAM. As a result, homeowners could visualize their desired interior designs before making significant physical changes. The outcome of this research was a system that could be utilized for virtual interior design, decision-making processes, and improved visualization of interior designs.
