Furniture AR
Furniture AR helps buyers move beyond flat photos. Augmenta turns a small set of product photos into a verified 3D/AR page so shoppers can inspect a chair or table, try sofa augmented reality, and use accurate augmented reality furniture placement to see the piece at true size in their own room before checkout.
Try the product
Rotate the chair in 3D here. On desktop, scan the code with your phone; on a supported phone, open the viewer and tap the AR button to place it in your room at true scale.
Your team uploads the product, dimensions, store URL, and a small set of clean photos. Augmenta handles the generation flow, model packaging, hosted page, and review gate, so nothing goes live until a human has checked that the silhouette, scale, and material actually match the real product. No 3D team, no in-house pipeline, and no separate app for shoppers to install.
The goal is not a manufacturing-grade CAD file. Room augmented reality is a visual shopping preview that helps buyers understand scale, orientation, and material before they commit. It closes the gap static photography cannot: whether the piece will actually look and fit right in the shopper's living room, next to their sofa or doorway, under their own light.
Add the hosted AR page to product pages, ads, emails, SMS campaigns, and QR codes in the showroom. Analytics show which products shoppers inspect and which previews drive store clicks, so you can see exactly which SKUs are earning engagement before expanding the rollout.
AR launches directly from the browser, with no app download, but the mechanism differs by platform. On iPhone, tapping the AR button opens Apple's Quick Look viewer, which reads a USDZ file and places the model on the floor using the phone's camera and depth sensing; Quick Look is built into iOS itself, so there is nothing for the shopper to install. On Android, the same button opens Google's Scene Viewer, which reads a GLB file and performs the equivalent placement using ARCore. Both paths start from the same hosted page and the same tap; the platform simply decides which file format and which built-in viewer to use behind the scenes, which is why a properly packaged product ships both a GLB and a USDZ file rather than just one.
AR is only convincing if the size is right. A model that renders even slightly too large or too small undermines the entire point of showing it in the shopper's room, because the one question AR is supposed to answer — will this actually fit — becomes unreliable. Accuracy starts with the merchant entering true width, height, and depth for the product, not an estimate, and it is preserved through a human review step before publishing, where a reviewer checks that the generated model's proportions, silhouette, and material actually match the source photos and the recorded dimensions. That review gate is what separates a usable shopping preview from an unverified 3D file that might quietly mislead a shopper into ordering the wrong size.
Because the AR page is just a link, it is not limited to the product page. Merchants commonly place it directly on the product detail page next to the buy button, in paid social and search ads where a 3D preview stands out against static creative, in post-purchase or abandoned-cart emails to resolve last-minute size doubt, and on QR codes printed in a physical showroom so a shopper standing next to a floor sample can still preview it in a different room, color, or configuration. Every placement points back to the same hosted page and feeds the same analytics, so a merchant running the link in five different channels can see which channel is actually driving product inspections and store clicks.
Choose the right approach
These services overlap visually but solve different operational problems. Augmenta is deliberately optimized for retailers that need a maintained 3D/AR shopping experience for a standard or lightly varied catalog.
| Requirement | Augmenta managed AR | CGI studio | Enterprise configurator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Standard furniture catalogs | Premium imagery and campaign production | Complex modular or made-to-order products |
| Typical input | Product photos and real dimensions | Brief, references, CAD or product documentation | Structured product rules, pricing, and 3D assets |
| App-free room placement | Included | Available when scoped | Commonly available |
| Configuration rules and quoting | Not included | Not the core deliverable | Core capability |
| Hosting and engagement analytics | Included | Depends on project scope | Usually platform-dependent |
| Starting approach | Focused 10–25 SKU pilot | Commissioned production project | Implementation and systems-integration project |
This is a category comparison, not a claim about every provider. Scope varies by vendor. If shoppers must build a valid product, calculate a price, or generate a bill of materials, evaluate a configurator; if they need to understand and place an existing product, a managed viewer is the lighter fit.
Implementation
The retailer keeps its existing storefront and checkout. Augmenta handles the 3D production and delivery layer, then the merchant decides which products deserve expansion based on actual engagement.
Provide four clean product views, accurate width, height and depth, and the store URL shoppers should return to.
Augmenta prepares the GLB and USDZ assets, then a human checks silhouette, proportion, scale, and material before approval.
Use a hosted link immediately or embed the viewer into a product page. Supported phones launch native AR without an Augmenta app.
Track page views, viewer interactions, AR launches, and store clicks per product, then expand the catalog based on evidence.
FAQ
No. The public product page opens in the browser, with AR available on supported mobile devices.
No. Augmenta is positioned as a verified visual preview for ecommerce confidence, not a manufacturing or engineering file.
Most iPhones running a recent iOS version support Quick Look AR, and most Android phones with ARCore support support Scene Viewer AR. On older or unsupported devices, and on desktop, shoppers still get the interactive 3D viewer even when the AR launch button is unavailable.
As accurate as the dimensions the merchant enters and the review step that checks them. The model is scaled to the recorded width, height, and depth, and a reviewer verifies proportions before the page goes live, which is what keeps AR placement trustworthy rather than a rough approximation.
A focused pilot of 10-25 SKUs is enough to prove engagement. Pick the products shoppers ask the most questions about — usually sofas, sectionals, dining tables, and other large pieces where a sizing mistake is the most expensive to ship back.
