FURNITURE AND HOME DECOR
AI and Immersive Reality Transforming Furniture & Home Décor
Immersive technologies are transforming the furniture and interior design industry by providing a new way for customers to experience products in their homes. Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) are all being used to create realistic simulations of furniture and home décor that can be experienced before making a purchase. This technology is particularly useful for furniture and interior design companies because it allows customers to see how a piece of furniture will look in their home before they buy it. It also allows customers to experiment with different design ideas and see how they would work in their space. This type of experiential shopping is becoming increasingly popular, as customers are looking for ways to avoid making costly mistakes when purchasing furniture.
Immersive Technologies Explained

The impact of these technologies has been significant in the way businesses operate and interact with their customers. For instance, companies have started to implement these technologies in their marketing strategies to engage potential customers. Immersive technologies include virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and 3D. These technologies provide an immersive experience that engages the senses of sight, sound, and touch. This allows businesses to create an environment that is realistic and interactive.

Try before you buy.
In the past, buying furniture and home décor was a bit of a guessing game. Shoppers would go to a store, pick out something they liked, and hope it looked good in their home. But with immersive technologies, they can now try before they buy. Augmented reality -powered apps let customers place virtual furniture in their homes to see how it looks prior to buying.
Product customization.
Another big change is the move to product customization. With the help of 3D configurators, shoppers can easily design and customize furniture and home décor to their exact specifications.
In-store engagement.
To increase in-store engagement organization have commenced to make use of cutting-edge technologies like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). These immersive technologies give potential customers a truly unique and memorable experience that will make them want to come back for more.
Showcasing.
Virtual furniture showrooms are an excellent way for customers to see what furniture would look like in their homes without having to physically move the pieces around. This is especially beneficial for people who are looking to buy large pieces of furniture, such as a couch or a dining room table. These showrooms can also be used to help customers visualize how different colors and styles of furniture would look in their home.
Design and manufacturing.
With the help of virtual reality (VR), designers can create unique and customized furniture that is tailored to the specific needs and preferences of their customers. VR allows designers to create a 3D model of their design which can be viewed from all angles. This gives customers a realistic view of how the furniture will look in their home. Customers can also request for specific changes to be made to the design before it is finalized. Similarly, augmented reality (AR) can be used by furniture retailers to give customers a preview of how the furniture will look in their home. AR technology can overlay a digital image of the furniture onto a real-world setting. This allows customers to see how the furniture will fit into their home and make sure that they are happy with the purchase before committing to it.
