VIRTUAL REALITY DESIGN APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An apparatus for designing an interior construction space including an interior floor and an interior wall surface by using a construction material including a floor material, a wallpaper or a tile through virtual reality, the apparatus comprising:
- a construction image acquiring unit to acquire an image of a design space comprising an interior floor and an interior wall surface, and acquire a real construction material comprising a flooring material, a wallpaper, and a tile, or an existing construction environment in a form of an image;
an input unit to input mapping information to the image acquired by the construction image acquiring unit, and input a function to realize a virtual reality design;
a control unit to control storage of the image acquired by the construction image acquiring unit, and control execution of a design application according to the functions input through the input unit;
a design application executing unit to execute the stored design application and create a design identical to reality by applying a construction image, which is obtained by photographing a real construction, to the acquired design space, under a control of the control unit;
a storage unit to store the design application;
a display unit to display a construction design implemented by the design application executing unit onto a screen image;
a design information generating unit to generate design transmission information used to transmit a full screen image or a preview screen image generated by the design application executing unit through communication; and
a communication unit to transmit the design transmission information generated by the design information generating unit to a remote place through a communication network.

Abstract
Provided is a virtual reality design apparatus and a method thereof, which previously design a construction environment the same as reality before the construction by photographing a construction material and applying the image of the construction material to a design space. The virtual reality design device includes a construction image acquiring unit to acquire an image of a design space, and acquire an image of a real construction material, or an existing construction environment, an input unit to input mapping information to the image, and input a function to realize a virtual reality design, a control unit to control storage of the image, and control execution of a design application according to the functions, and a design application executing unit to execute the stored design application and create a design identical to reality under a control of the control unit.
