Design Process


Problem Statement

There is no software targeted towards the Commercial Design Industry that provides nearly instant 3D design renderings, and a

customizable database.


Problem Characteristics

Time

Money

Ann Orwig, Director of Tidewater Operations for Gwaltney Fleming, Inc.


Our Solution

Smart DesignA software package that renders a room (or

more) in 3D to allow ‘on the spot’ preliminary designs through a company

oriented, customizable database for instant customer feedback.


Design Process


Goals

Expand a commercial 3D package to allow it to include detailed furnishings stored in a customizable database

Provide “on the spot” real-time 3D renderings during initial client meetings


Solution Objectives Research the current design process to

determine the steps to be automated Create an intuitive Graphical User Interface Find a suitable package to adopt and modify Find catalogs of products to render 3D

models of and create the database Provide database updates Allow the product to print a billing list of

the furniture items being used in the design


Solution Characteristics

Contains Customizable Database Gives Immediate Prototyping Performs 3D Object Rendering Models Lighting Styles Renders Rooms Via User Input

Preliminary DesignBush


Risk Management Plan

1. Integration of GUI, DB, and the COTS

2. Customers’ Acceptance of Technology

3. User Interface Complexity

4. Data Loss

5. Insufficient Funding

6. Customers’ Learning of Technology

7. DB Server Hard Drive Failure

8. Schedule Delays


Risk Mitigation

Integration of GUI, DB, and the COTS Likelihood - 4 Consequence - 5 Mitigation – employ expert developers

Customers’ Acceptance of Technology Likelihood - 4 Consequence - 4 Mitigation – market the product as a short-term time and

money saver


Risk Mitigation

User Interface Complexity Likelihood - 3 Consequence - 5 Mitigation – keep the GUI simple and easy to use,

collect beta test feedback on ease of use

Data Loss Likelihood - 3 Consequence - 4 Mitigation – employ UPS
