Which is a great visualization tool for customers, who are interested in shopping online About the Project We wanted to share one of our projects, which works as a demo for a furniture business. The app allows users to rearrange virtual furniture in the room using AR. Which is a great visualization tool for customers, who are interested in furniture shopping. Furniture rearrangement is not the only purpose this app can have. It could be anything from flowers to bikes and cars, etc. Our Approach The app was made using the Unity engine and AR Foundation library. Made using a cross-platform framework, it could be deployed as an Android or iOS app. In our app, the flow of adding furniture models to the world consists of scanning the available surfaces, then selecting the models, and augmenting the world with them. We wanted to make it as user-friendly as possible, so we approached a scanning phase in the way, so it minimizes input error. We noticed that some apps allow placing objects in the world after scanning the first available surface, which introduces a problem of scanning the wrong surface. After all, our living space doesn’t consist of the floor as the only horizontal surface. The app allows users to scan all available surfaces and select the one that is suitable for furniture arrangement. The app has an intuitive catalog of furniture, which allows users to search the items by category. After placing the object in the world, its rotation and position can be easily modified by rotating it with two fingers or dragging across the surface.
