Abstract

Individuals often discuss how to configure their real world space, such as switching the location of an object, designing furniture layouts or room decorations, shopping for suitable house appliances, or even commanding a robot to perform certain tasks. However, verbal communication is often insufficient to convey the imagined results for such spatial arrangements. Users must occasionally spend considerable efforts in either moving the real objects physically or using photos or videos to composite the mockup to simulate the layout. Nevertheless, those methods are too tedious for real-time communication.
