Design through AR: review and analysis of interior design tools combined with augmented reality

With the advancement of technology, augmented reality (AR) technology has gradually entered the field of interior design. The paper discusses the current academic advancements in AR technology within the field of interior design, covering AR-supported interior design tools, co-design practices facilitated by AR, and AR-supported interior design prototypes. Additionally, from the perspective of design practice, we conduct case studies of leading AR interior design products, analyzing their product features, usage processes, and user experiences. The paper summarizes the challenges and future potential of AR-supported interior design.
