In today's digital era, the way we shop is constantly changing. One of the most exciting developments is the introduction of 3D models and augmented reality (AR) features. These technologies are not only revolutionizing the buying process, but also the way we decorate our homes. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at these innovations and examine their impact on the furniture market.
What is 3D furniture?
3D furniture is digital models of furniture,
that are created using computer graphics. These models are extremely detailed and allow you to view furniture pieces from different angles. From sofas to beds to dining tables, virtually any type of furniture can be created in 3D. This technology provides a realistic representation of the furniture, allowing consumers to develop a better understanding of design, proportions and materials.
The Role of Augmented Reality (AR)
Augmented Reality (AR) sets the 3D furniture in your own room. Using an AR-enabled smartphone or tablet, you can project pieces of furniture into your surroundings in real time and see how they look in the rooms. Modern cell phones and high-quality 3D models take into account not only the right dimensions, but also color and texture.
This gives you a realistic picture of how a piece of furniture will fit into your living space before you buy it. AR creates a seamless connection between the digital and physical worlds and enables better purchasing decisions.
The advantages of 3D furniture and AR
-
Better purchasing decisions: Furniture can be visualized in your own home. This leads to more informed purchasing decisions and reduces disappointment upon receipt.
-
Personalized Experiences: Furniture variants can be adapted to individual needs and interior design style by trying out different colors, materials and sizes.
-
time and cost savings: Create your own showroom at home. Visits to showrooms are reduced or no longer necessary. Save time when making a decision - without taking any risks.
The Future of Furniture Shopping
The introduction of 3D furniture and AR functions is just the beginning of a steadily more interactive and even more personalized shopping experience in the furniture industry.
We have been using 3D models and AR functions for some time now. So far, we have made over 5,000 models available in our online shop and more models will follow in the next few weeks, so that we will have over 10,000 models available by the end of March 2024. We are also constantly expanding our digital offering and relying on other future technologies.
