CelestiAR is an Augmented Reality (AR)-powered interior design prototype developed using Unity and AR Foundation. The application enables users to visualize furniture placement, room layouts, wallpapers, and flooring designs directly within real-world environments using mobile AR technology.
The project was developed as an academic prototype to explore immersive interior visualization and interactive home decor simulation through AR-based experiences.
The objective of this project is to:
- Enable users to virtually place furniture in real-world spaces
- Improve interior visualization before purchasing furniture or decor
- Provide immersive room customization using AR technology
- Assist users in experimenting with layouts, wallpapers, and flooring options
- Explore practical implementation of AR in interior design applications
- Unity 3D
- C#

- Touch-based object interaction
- Zoom and placement controls
- Real-time room visualization
- Pre-designed room inspirations
- Decor recommendation scenes
- User launches the application
- Camera permissions are requested
- User selects decor category
- AR camera scans the environment
- Furniture and decor elements can be placed virtually
- Users customize layouts and visualize designs in real-time
The application uses AR Foundation and ARCore to detect surfaces and overlay 3D virtual objects within real-world environments.
The workflow includes:
- Camera-based environment scanning
- Plane detection
- 3D model rendering
- Real-time object placement
- User interaction through touch gestures
- Understanding of AR application development workflows
- Experience with Unity scene management
- Integration of AR Foundation and ARCore
- 3D model handling and rendering
- UI design for interactive mobile applications
- Real-time room dimension measurement
- AI-powered furniture recommendations
- Online furniture catalog integration
- Multi-user collaborative room designing
- Markerless AR enhancements
- Cloud-based design saving system
