KAIRA App

KAIRA is an interactive web and desktop application designed to transform 2D floor plans into immersive 3D visualizations for homeowners, architects, and designers. The app allows users to preview layouts, experiment with furniture, and customize interiors before construction. The app integrates VR technology for a more engaging experience.

Features:

• Interactive 3D visualization of floor plans.
• VR support for immersive space planning.
• Real-time layout editing and customization.
• Cross-platform compatibility for both web and desktop (Electron).

Tech Stack:

• Frontend: React.js, Three.js (for 3D rendering)
• Backend: Node.js, Express
• Database: MongoDB (for storing user data and layouts)
• Electron: For desktop app version
• VR: Integration with VR frameworks for immersive space planning.
