Sweet Home AR Augmented Reality

Product overview: SweetHomeAR is an innovative augmented reality app that allows users to virtually "test drive" furniture and home goods. By using your phone's camera, the app captures an image of the item you want to check and analyzes its characteristics such as size, material, and color. You can then specify where you wish to place the item in your house, room, or any other location, and the app will analyze the surroundings and provide a photo-realistic visualization of how the item would look in that space.

Spatial Presentation: Properly combining spatial presentation with real-time configuration capability was crucial to providing an accurate and immersive user experience.

Usability: The app had to be simple and engaging to use to ensure user adoption and satisfaction.

Platform Compatibility: The app needed to be compatible with both iOS and Android platforms.

Technologies used:

Android SDK

Android NDK

C/C++
