The Inspiration Behind Our Revolutionary AR App
The art of visualization. Reinvented.
At VirtuAR, we are constantly seeking out new ideas and innovative ways to push the boundaries of augmented reality. Our inspiration for VirtuAR came from a desire to revolutionize the way people experience and visualize design projects.
Inspiration #1 – Unreal Engine
We were first inspired by Unreal Engine’s Virtual Set Technology, which allows for principal photography of shows like The Mandalorian to occur with VFX projected in the background. This got us thinking about how we could use similar technology to change the way people experience design projects.
Imagine being able to preview a project before it even begins. As a landscape designer, instead of showing your customer a plan drawing or a 3D concept, how amazing would it be if they could see the project in virtual or augmented reality? This would allow them to move around and witness the changes from multiple angles, offering a fully immersive and interactive experience.
This is where VirtuAR comes in. We developed a stand-alone mobile AR app that utilizes the power of LiDAR technology to enable accurate placement of 3D objects on the AR plane. This allows users to explore and interact with the 3D object while holding the mobile device, offering a fully immersive and interactive experience. VirtuAR is a subscription-based service with dedicated cloud storage for each account, allowing subscribers to upload their own 3D models and use them within the app for presentation purposes.
Our inspiration for VirtuAR was driven by a desire to empower designers, architects, engineers, and other professionals with the ability to showcase their designs and products in a fully immersive and interactive way. With VirtuAR, our users can preview and explore projects in real-time, giving their customers a better understanding of the final outcome.
Inspiration #2 – YARD
While searching for ideas to make this dream a reality, we came across an amazing app called Yard. Yard, developed by Structure Studios, provides design and visualization software for the pool and spa industry, enabling users to create custom 3D designs of their outdoor living spaces. By utilizing augmented reality, Yard offers users an immersive experience to visualize and plan their projects.
However, there are some limitations to YARD, and to outdo these limitations VirtuAR takes AR visualization to the next level. While Yard is bundled as part of Structure Studio’s software suite, VirtuAR is stand-alone software that offers users complete creative control. VirtuAR allows users to create their own 3D objects using any 3D modeling software of their choice, such as Maya, 3D Max, Blender, and more. Once the user has designed their 3D assets, they can simply upload them through the online dashboard to use them in the VirtuAR app.
These features set VirtuAR apart from Yard, as it offers complete flexibility for our users. VirtuAR subscribers can create and upload any 3D assets they desire, allowing them to showcase their products or designs to clients in a personalized and effective way. By using VirtuAR, salespeople, project sales consultants, architects, designers, engineers, and more can easily visualize their products in the real world, making it the perfect tool for any industry.
At VirtuAR, we pride ourselves on our commitment to innovation and our dedication to providing excellent customer service. We believe that our stand-alone software offering and complete creative control sets us apart from the competition. We invite you to join our community of subscribers and experience the power of VirtuAR for yourself. Sign up today and start revolutionizing the way you showcase your products and designs!
