By the Visuality team · Published on · Updated on · 4 min read
To test augmented reality, open this page on an iPhone or an Android smartphone and tap the augmented reality button of one of the objects below: it appears in your home, at real size, with no app. On a computer, rotate the models in 3D, then scan their QR code with your phone.
How do you test augmented reality in 3 steps?
On a smartphone or tablet
Open this page in Safari on iPhone or iPad, or in Chrome on Android.
Tap the augmented reality icon at the bottom right of the object you are interested in.
Aim at the floor (or at a wall for the frame, on Android), then move and rotate the object with your fingers.
On a computer
Rotate each 3D model with your mouse and zoom in to look at the details.
Scan the object's QR code with your phone's camera.
On your phone, tap the augmented reality button to place the object in your room.
Which products can you try in augmented reality?
Each object illustrates a common e-commerce situation. They are all displayed with the same viewer that Visuality customers use.
Wall placement
Wall frame
On Android, aim at a clear wall: the frame hangs on it at its real size, like a painting, a mirror or a wall light. On iPhone and iPad, AR Quick Look currently places it on a horizontal surface.
Scan this QR code with your phone to place the object in your home.
How do you share several products with a single link?
An object group brings several products together behind a single link and a single QR code. Your customers switch from one object to the next in the viewer, then place the one they choose in augmented reality. It is the ideal solution for a collection, a trade show catalog or a quote that includes several items.
