IDA

An Interior Design Assistant (IDA) is a tool to support an interior design architect. When designing the interior of a house or building, the architect proceeds from the spatial layout and a list of furniture items. IDA must allow for placing furniture in a room. It will check for constraints. For example placing a chair upon a table will be prohibited. For each design, IDA must be able to give information with respect to pricing and the time it takes to have the furniture items delivered. In addition to the design facilities, IDA must also offer a showroom mode, in which the various designs can be inspected and compared with respect to price and delivery time.
