Abstract
In this paper we show how current web technology can be used to preview home decoration and design, using real photos and virtual objects with real time visualization and edition in a web application. A tool for this purpose was implemented in HTML5, with a native version for smartphones that do not support HTML5 in its entirety yet. This paper describes the application, explaining its implementation, the support for user content with image background removal, camera calibration for perspective correction and distance measurements, how we can support both 2D and 3D meshes and our design concerns for users with no previous experience with this sort of technology.
