In this paper, a new AR furniture arrangement system is proposed. AR furniture arrangement systems are useful because users can consider design without moving or buying real furniture. However, most of such systems require a visual marker or an external tracking system thus limiting working space, and forces users to physically move to change their viewpoints. In order to address these problems, our proposed system uses a depth camera attached to a video see-through HMD to reconstruct the real environment and to track user position. It also recommends a secondary viewpoint suitable for furniture arrangement and allows the user to change the viewpoint flexibly using the reconstructed model. Experimental results show that users can grasp the arrangement easier with our system compared to a conventional AR system.
