ABOUT
There are plenty of home decorating apps using augmented reality to show how furniture or an item will look in a space. However, there aren’t many apps that will help homeowners and industry professionals to visualize ideas using AR to remodel a room. Trying to communicate design ideas is not easy, and this app will help the miscommunication between homeowners and professionals.
THE PROBLEM
The objective of this app is a tool for homeowners and industry professionals to visualize home remodeling ideas. Also, is a platform where homeowners are able to find local professionals in their area such as designers, architects, and contractors.
OBJECTIVE
Learning from others
Since in this case study, we are focusing mainly on the flow and the UI design. I observed Houzz to observe its solution for features to incorporate in HomeView.
