Overview

Program-Ace built FurnitARe, a markerless AR app that lets shoppers and designers place true-to-scale furniture in a real room, brand-agnostic and free, so anyone can visualize a product before buying.

The challenge

AR shopping tools were often costly, locked to one brand, and reliant on markers that made placement clumsy and inconsistent. The goal was an accessible, markerless app that places furniture intuitively in any room, with reliable surface detection and smooth performance on ordinary phones.

The solution

Program-Ace built a markerless, brand-agnostic AR furniture app for any retailer or designer.

Markerless surface detection for seamless object placement.
Custom 3D model uploads, so any company can add its furniture.
A brand-agnostic, watermark-free experience.
An intuitive interface that needs no training.
Cross-platform delivery on iOS and Android.
Technology and approach

How we built it

Built in Unity with ARKit and ARCore for markerless AR on iOS and Android, and 3D models prepared in Autodesk Maya, the app detects real surfaces to place true-to-scale furniture smoothly on ordinary phones, without the brand lock-in of competing apps.
