“…In order to unequivocally state that the idea of the developed system is correct, some research should be carried out to confirm or contradict the thesis that virtual reality can be used in the process of smart designing and evaluating of lighting [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. Initially, the decision was made to use the indoor scene for testing.…”

The current lighting solutions, both in terms of design process and later implementation, are becoming more and more intelligent. It mainly arises from higher opportunities to use information technology (IT) processes for these purposes. Designs cover many aspects, from physiological to including technical. The paper describes the problems faced by any designers while creating, evaluating them, and presenting the final results of their work in a visualisation form. Development of virtual reality (VR) technology and augmented reality, which is now taking place before our eyes, makes us inclined to think how to use this reality in lighting technology. The article presents some examples of applying VR technology in various types of smart lighting designs, for interiors and outdoor objects. The performed computer simulations are compared to reality. Some surveys, in terms of visualization rendering, were carried out. In the article, the current capabilities and main limitations of virtual reality of lighting are discussed, as well as what can be expected in the future. The luminance analysis of the virtual reality display is carried out, which shows that this equipment can be used in lighting technology after the appropriate calibration. Moreover, an innovative lighting design system based on virtual reality is presented.

Interior design is the core step of interior decoration, and it determines the overall layout and style of furniture. Traditional interior design is usually laborious and time‐consuming work carried out by professional designers and cannot always meet clients' personalized requirements. With the development of computer graphics, computer vision and machine learning, computer scientists have carried out much fruitful research work in computer‐aided personalized interior design (PID). In general, personalization research in interior design mainly focuses on furniture selection and floor plan preparation. In terms of the former, personalized furniture selection is achieved by selecting furniture that matches the resident's preference and style, while the latter allows the resident to personalize their floor plan design and planning. Finally, the automatic furniture layout task generates a stylistically matched and functionally complete furniture layout result based on the selected furniture and prepared floor plan. Therefore, the main challenge for PID is meeting residents' personalized requirements in terms of both furniture and floor plans. This paper answers the above question by reviewing recent progress in five separate but correlated areas, including furniture style analysis, furniture compatibility prediction, floor plan design, floor plan analysis and automatic furniture layout. For each topic, we review representative methods and compare and discuss their strengths and shortcomings. In addition, we collect and summarize public datasets related to PID and finally discuss its future research directions.

“…Computer simulation of floodlighting is now the basic tool for any designer of such installations [1][2][3]. On its basis, the design is analysed in terms of lighting features [4,5], energy [6], and impact on the environment [7][8][9][10], and, as far as outdoor objects are concerned, its impact on the natural environment is also investigated [11][12][13]. A lighting designer has various tools and methods that are constantly improved in terms of the IT solutions [14].…”

The paper presents the opportunities to apply computer graphics in an object floodlighting design process and in an analysis of object illumination. The course of object floodlighting design has been defined based on a virtual three-dimensional geometric model. The problems related to carrying out the analysis of lighting, calculating the average illuminance, luminance levels and determining the illuminated object surface area are also described. These parameters are directly tied with the calculations of the Floodlighting Utilisation Factor, and therefore, with the energy efficiency of the design as well as the aspects of light pollution of the natural environment. The paper shows how high an impact of the geometric model of the object has on the accuracy of photometric calculations. Very often the model contains the components that should not be taken into account in the photometric calculations. The research on what influence the purity of the geometric mesh of the illuminated object has on the obtained results is presented. It shows that the errors can be significant, but it is possible to optimise the 3D object model appropriately in order to receive the precise results. For the example object presented in this paper, removing the planes that do not constitute its external surface has caused a two-fold increase in the average illuminance and average luminance. This is dangerous because a designer who wants to achieve a specific average luminance level in their design without optimizing the model will obtain the luminance values that will actually be much higher.
