Furniture AR

What is furniture AR? 

Furniture AR (augmented reality) is the technology that is used to enable your customers to see furniture in their place before purchasing it. It is implemented with the help of a phone, tablet, or computer camera, dropping a 3D model of the piece of furniture inside the live camera feed of the room. This enables the shopper to get the size, style, and fit of the product even if they are not physically accessing the store. 

Moreover, furniture AR allows your customer to be at home in the living room and use their device to view or stand a virtual sofa or any other piece of furniture where it may appear. They can walk around and zoom in to inspect it, switch colors and materials on the fly. From your virtual store, you can permit your customer to try out a dining table in their kitchen to see if it fits with the style.
