Move over Ready Player One — the future of AR might be in furniture
Modsy is developing a platform that lets property owners create virtual renderings of rooms and restyle them in real time. So that means 3D automation, plus virtually positioning furniture items, combined with a marketplace where you can buy the items. Modsy’s tech replicates rooms in 360 degrees, with furniture from dozens of well-known brands. It’s a powerful combination.
Planner 5D is a design tool that lets you create floor plans and interior designs using VR and AR. But its approach is different.
It first learns about how the house is used and then automatically creates a design. The startup claims its users have already designed more than 80 million projects without requiring any special design or software skills.
In the meantime, it’s easy to see why apps like this are taking off. The average interior design costs for a U.S. homeowner are between $2,000 and $8,300, so using these apps can be a huge cost saving.
