Fingo: choose furniture in an augmented reality mode

As you look for furniture for home and office? With high probability, it looks like a trip to a specialty store. A more advanced version - search the web directories. Many retailers and brands have started to practice display 3D-models of their products, making an interesting sofa or table can twist in all planes. However, these methods do not take into account a couple of important points. Firstly, for the fullest experience furniture should be inspected in an existing home. Secondly, the conventional 3D-model does not tell the true dimensions.

We found very cool Fingo for iOS free app, The selection process of the furniture which is implemented through augmented reality.

So, to get started you need to print a special marker - a kind of pattern on A4 paper. It is for him to be guided in the application space. To print enough to specify in the application of any available email, and then open the resulting file and send it to the printer.

We place a marker on the floor in the place where we plan to place a piece of furniture. At this training is over, and you could go to the store.

The expanded form Fingo catalog is divided by category with an indication of the popular models of furniture, and a call from the menu, sorting is carried out on an accessory furniture to a particular type (for a bedroom, nursery, hallway and so on), or by brands. Here, in the upper right corner found the price filter.

The process of "fitting" of furniture is very simple. Select your favorite model, get acquainted with its description and price and, if happy with everything, click "view in the interior."

This starts the camera, with markings and the window in which to catch a short distance in advance Placed on the floor of the marker.

When the marker is frozen on the screen the selected model will be displayed.

At the modest power of the mobile device (we tested on the iPad 3), 3D processing is simply superb. Even with the round-trip time dimensions of furniture and its location relative to the floor perfectly preserved. Matt colored surface looks just magical, but the metal has a small claims - there is no specular reflection.

However, this tiny flaw has not prevented us a perfect example to the office here is a uyutnenky sofa, chair, ottoman, and even spotted a glass table. If selected for a particular model available in different colors, then you can view them directly in the interface pop-up menu.

When the decision to purchase is accepted, just click on the blue circle with a basket in the left corner of the interface, or press the appropriate button in the window with the description of the model.
