Visualizing large products in augmented reality
No commitment, no credit card required.
The problem: how do you show what doesn't fit in a suitcase?
Industrial machines, agricultural equipment, large-scale furniture, vehicles, metal structures, boilers, solar panels... Many industries sell products whose size makes physical demonstration complex and costly.
The challenges are numerous: transporting a 500 kg product for a client meeting is unthinkable. Renting a trade show space large enough to display a 3-meter machine costs a fortune. And even in a showroom, space is limited — you can only display a handful of products out of dozens or hundreds in your catalog.
The result: your customers must buy from a catalog, a blueprint, or photos. They can't picture the product in their space, assess its actual dimensions, or verify that it fits. This lack of visualization lengthens sales cycles and breeds distrust.
The solution: full-scale augmented reality
Augmented reality solves this problem in a spectacular way. With just a smartphone, your customer can project your product in 3D, at its actual size, directly into their environment. A tractor in a hangar. A machine tool in a workshop. A sofa in a living room. A solar panel on a roof.
The customer can walk around the virtual product, zoom into details, and check proportions against existing elements. They see exactly what the product will look like once installed, without physically moving anything.
Examples of large products in augmented reality
- Industrial machines and equipment: Present your machines at full scale at your client's site or at a trade show. They can verify that the machine fits in their workshop, that maintenance access is clear, and that connections are compatible. No more transporting a multi-ton machine for a demonstration.
- Furniture and interior design: Sofas, wardrobes, fitted kitchens, walk-in closets — the customer places the furniture in AR within the relevant room and checks dimensions, colors, and style. Returns due to sizing issues drop dramatically.
- Vehicles and machinery: Cars, utility vehicles, construction equipment, agricultural tractors — AR lets you visualize the vehicle in the customer's yard, garage, or job site. Especially useful for build-to-order models not available at the dealership.
- Structures and buildings: Garden sheds, pergolas, conservatories, modular homes, converted containers — the customer visualizes the structure in their garden or on their land before ordering. A decisive selling point for purchases worth several thousand euros.
- Energy equipment: Solar panels, heat pumps, EV charging stations — the customer sees how it looks on their roof or in their garage, making it easier to greenlight the project.
Advantages for businesses
- Massive reduction in logistics costs: No more hauling heavy, bulky products for demonstrations. A single smartphone is all you need to showcase your entire catalog in 3D at full scale.
- Unlimited catalog at every meeting: A sales representative can present dozens of different products with no shipping constraints. The entire catalog is accessible via augmented reality, whether at a client meeting or a trade show.
- Shorter sales cycle: Customers who see the product in their real environment make faster decisions. They can trust the dimensions, appearance, and compatibility with their space.
- Competitive differentiation: Offering augmented reality to your customers positions you as an innovative player. In industries where competitors still show photos in PDFs, AR visualization creates a wow effect that leaves a lasting impression.
How to configure your large objects on Visuality
Visuality natively handles objects of all sizes, from jewelry to buildings. Here are the key points for getting the best results with large products:
- Match real-world dimensions: When creating your 3D model, make sure the model's dimensions exactly match the actual product dimensions. Visuality displays the product at 1:1 scale in augmented reality.
- Adjust the placement: Visuality offers floor placement (machines, furniture, vehicles) or wall placement (shelves, panels, screens). Choose the mode that best suits your product.
- Use object groups: For a multi-product catalog, create an object group that lets the customer browse different product references from a single viewing interface.
- Prepare for offline use: For demonstrations in factories or on job sites without WiFi, use the Visuality Android app, which works without an internet connection.
