Abstract

The work aims to propose smart home design method combining virtual reality (VR) and level of detail (LOD) modeling based on the limitations in graphic presentation, customer communication and space perception of traditional home design (HD), to improve design accuracy and user experience. A VR-based home design platform combined with LOD technology was developed. The LOD technology was applied to adaptively adjust model accuracy through viewing distance, reducing the computational burden of rendering while optimizing the smoothness of interaction. By comparing traditional design methods and VR+LOD design methods, corresponding improvement effects were evaluated in aspects such as design comprehensiveness, visibility and spatial effect. The results showed that VR design methods based on LOD optimization scored significantly higher on comprehensiveness (94.12), visibility (95.52) and spatial effect (96.11) than traditional design methods (81.73, 81.05 and 81.10). LOD technology effectively reduced the burden of VR rendering, improved the efficiency of model loading, made the interaction in the virtual environment smoother for users, and enhanced spatial perception and design intuitiveness. The study proves the optimization role of LOD technology in VR home design, providing a more efficient visualization and interaction solution for smart home design. The research results not only provide theoretical and practical support for the application of VR technology in home design, but also prove that the LOD optimization method can effectively reduce design communication costs, improve user experience, and promote the development of smart home design towards a more precise and efficient direction.
