If your store still relies on printed catalogs or standard online listings, you're already falling behind. Augmented Reality (AR) is transforming how people shop for furniture—with an immersive experience that lets customers physically place products in their homes before purchasing. For savvy store owners, this isn’t a luxury—it’s a game-changer.
🛋 Why Flat Catalogs and Website Images Just Don’t Cut It
-
No depth, no scale. Static photos don’t show how big a piece is relative to your customer's space—leaving buyers guessing.
-
High return rates. Consumers often order items that don't quite fit their room, leading to costly and time-consuming returns.
-
Low engagement. Most shoppers don’t spend much time on flat product pages—there’s nothing left to explore.
🎯 What AR Does Differently
With AR, shoppers can point a phone or tablet at their room, place life-size, realistic 3D models of your furniture, and see exactly how everything fits in real time.
-
WebAR versions work instantly—no app download required
-
AppAR versions, via iOS or Android, offer richer, more immersive visuals
-
Markerless systems automatically fit pieces into any environment, while marker-based systems can be used in-store with QR codes
