Online furniture shopping often leaves customers uncertain about how a piece will fit in their space or match their existing decor. Traditional static images and basic descriptions fall short in providing the immersive experience needed for confident purchasing decisions. Enter the 3D furniture configurator—a game-changing tool that allows customers to visualize and personalize furniture in real-time.
A 3D furniture configurator is an interactive tool that enables customers to customize furniture pieces by selecting colors, materials, sizes, and configurations. This real-time customization provides a dynamic and engaging shopping experience, allowing users to see their choices come to life in three dimensions.
Sectionals are among the most challenging furniture pieces to purchase online due to their size and complexity. A sectional configurator allows customers to experiment with different layouts, ensuring the piece fits perfectly in their space and aligns with their style preferences. This level of personalization not only boosts customer satisfaction but also reduces the likelihood of returns.
WebAR (Web Augmented Reality) enables customers to view 3D models of furniture in their own environment using a smartphone or tablet. This technology bridges the gap between online browsing and in-store shopping, providing a realistic preview of how a piece will look in the customer's home. Studies show that 58% of customers are more likely to purchase furniture online if they can use AR to visualize the product in their space. (MyWebAR by DEVAR)
