Erfassungs- und Modellierungstool zur akustischen, visuellen und räumlichen Gestaltung hybrider Meetingräume

The goal of this project is to research automated design for meeting and conference rooms. The main items are desks, chairs, audio and video equipment. Based on a 3D model of a room provided at input, at TU Wien we investigate concepts for:

• seating arrangement
• screen placement
• camera positioning
• selection of hardware properties

The choices are interconnected, influencing each other. Our plan is to filter the available space for placement options and propose a metric representing the setup regarding the visibility of meeting participants and expected picture quality. The best design will be presented at the output.

We will approach this problem as a multi-variate optimization in discrete space. Collisions and visibility will rule out many combinations. Further ergonomic constraints will narrow down the space of feasible solutions. The candidate setups will be judged by the metric to select the most suitable for the given shape and parameters of the input room.
