VAIDE: Virtual AI Designer for Web3D Exhibition Layout Creation

The design of a virtual exhibition layout is a meticulous process. It usually starts with floor plan design, adhering to guidelines such as visitor traffic flow, exhibit prominence, and aesthetic considerations. Based on floor plans, 3D models are constructed, followed by the creation of final scenes. However, there is a notable lack of an efficient method to streamline this complex design process, which often requires profound professional expertise. To address this gap, we propose a novel approach leveraging generative AI and a floor plan recognition algorithm to reconstruct 3D exhibition layouts, thereby enhancing designers’ efficiency. We have achieved the design of exhibition hall floor plans using Stable Diffusion and completed the automatic conversion from floor plans to 3D models, as well as the web-based operation and display platform. We undertake a comparative analysis between our solution and a CGAN-based method, evaluating the results through both subjective and objective measures. Furthermore, we present a comprehensive flowchart outlining the process of generating a museum exhibition hall on a web platform. Additionally, we demonstrate the design impact of our methodology in creating a virtual exhibition hall utilizing Web3D technology.
