Augmented Reality (AR) is the most recent popular technology that was developed in many fields. Development of AR is important for living room furniture layout design due to the high expectation of clients for testing design outcomes. Being able to think in three dimensions (3D) and visualizing projects is also a great importance for interior designers. Besides, the interior designer is difficult to collaborate with the clients for collecting furniture layout design ideas by referring the 2D furniture layout. Therefore, this study aims to introduce a multi-user interaction system for living room furniture layout design using handheld AR. The objectives of this study are; firstly, study multi-user interaction for living room furniture layout design in handheld AR. Secondly, develop handheld AR research prototype and multi-user interaction for living room furniture layout design and lastly, to integrate the handheld AR research prototype with multi-user interaction for living room furniture layout design. This study implements and combines the AR living room furniture layout design with multi-user interaction. This study also evaluates the research prototype based on the usability and user acceptance testing. The testing results showed the research prototype works properly. The respondents were overall satisfied with the research prototype and agreed that this research prototype is very interesting, creative and useful for collaborating with multi-user to design the living room furniture layout. This study has successfully established multi-user interaction for living room furniture layout design in handheld AR.
