WebAR
Asking a shopper to install an app to preview a sofa kills the moment. WebAR launches the AR experience directly from the product page in the mobile browser — Quick Look on iPhone, Scene Viewer on Android — so the step from 'curious' to 'seeing it in my room' is one tap.
iPhones and iPads open the USDZ model in Apple Quick Look; Android phones open the GLB in Google Scene Viewer. Both are built into the operating system, so there is nothing to install and nothing to maintain — the product page just needs the right files and markup.
WebAR renders the model at its true dimensions on the shopper's floor. That answers the question static photos never can — will it fit, and will it overwhelm the room? — which is where furniture purchase hesitation and returns actually start.
A hosted WebAR page needs no SDK or app-store review. Put the link on product pages, in ads, in email campaigns, or behind a showroom QR code; desktop visitors get a QR hand-off to their phone.
Native apps offer custom UI but demand installation, two codebases, and ongoing maintenance — a barrier almost no furniture shopper crosses. WebAR trades pixel-perfect control for zero friction, which is why furniture retailers overwhelmingly ship it instead.

FAQ
WebAR is augmented reality launched from a web page instead of an installed app. For furniture it means a shopper taps a button on the product page and places the piece in their room using just the phone's browser and camera.
iPhones and iPads (iOS 12+) via Quick Look and the vast majority of modern Android phones via Scene Viewer. Desktop browsers show the interactive 3D viewer with a QR code to continue in AR on a phone.
No. Augmenta generates the GLB and USDZ files, hosts the viewer, and gives you a link and embed code. AR capability ships with every hosted product page.
Yes — models are scaled from merchant-entered real dimensions, and modern phone AR tracking places them on the floor plane at true size.
Show shoppers what the product looks like in their room, then track whether they return to your store.
