A practical generative AI application for real-estate staging, interior design simulation, and architectural visualization. Built with Next.js 14, Tailwind CSS, and the ControlNet ML pipeline via Replicate API, featuring interactive before/after image comparison sliders.

โก Executive Summary & Client ROI
Traditional interior 3D modeling and physical home staging cost upwards of $2,500+ per property and take weeks to deliver. RoomVision AI demonstrates how modern generative vision models can turn raw smartphone photos into hyper-realistic staged interiors in under 15 seconds, creating immense commercial value for real-estate and architecture businesses.

๐ Key Engineered Features
๐ธ Structural Edge-Lock Conditioning: Employs ML edge-detection (Canny / ControlNet) to ensure furniture changes while physical walls, ceiling heights, and windows remain perfectly unchanged.
๐๏ธ Multi-Theme Spatial Selector: Supports instantaneous styling across Modern Minimalist, Scandinavian, Industrial Loft, Mid-Century Modern, and Luxury Biophilic.
๐๏ธ Interactive Before/After Slider: Touch-optimized dual-canvas comparison slider allowing clients to swipe between original and generated renders.
โ๏ธ Optimized Media CDN Storage: Secure temporary image uploading and persistent cloud asset storage powered by Bytescale CDN.
โก Asynchronous Streaming Polling: Next.js API routes handling asynchronous model inference polling with graceful timeouts and client error toasts.
๐ฑ Mobile Camera Direct Upload: Mobile browser support for directly snapping a photo and running generation in a single tap.
