Abstract: The following article tries to look at how AI/VR technologies can be integrated into interior design processes, and how they can have a profound effect on user experience and traditional design processes. It also addresses the gaps and its opportunities in understanding the transformative impact of integrating AI and VR technologies into interior design and their pervasive impact on user experience, particularly on the professional and educational traditional design processes. In addition, the synthesis emerging from this study seeks to highlight the evolving role of these technologies in reshaping traditional design processes, decision-making mechanisms, and user experiences in interior design careers. In relation to these a general evaluation of common AI platforms highlights the need for a deeper understanding and development of user experiences and interface variations. In overall, it is underlined that AI and VR could very well enable students, interior designers, and educators to adapt to more advanced ideas, fostering creativity and critical thinking. Acknowledging the small number of studies that have been carried out predicting the future of the industry only, but not specifically addressing the interior design industry, educational environments, and its career prospects, it is important to focus on the future of the interior design profession as well as its upcoming education curriculum outlines. Therefore, the following analysis aims to provide and combines new insights into the practical applications of AI and VR integration in interior design, offering specific observations on how these technologies enhance users' decision-making processes and improve the quality of interior designs through improved spatial visualisation and interactive experiences. The study also aims to suggest that the integration of AI and VR in interior design is crucial to remain innovative, up to date with the industry, increase the new generations user satisfaction and prepare professionals and students for the evolving landscape of the industry. In conclusion, the research attempts to close existing gaps in the literature, contributing to the understanding of the dynamic interaction between artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and interior design paving the way for innovative developments in this field.
