Invision – Augmented Reality
Explore 3D models in AR — view objects or locations inside and out
With Invision, users can view 3D models from both the outside and inside, layer by layer, room by room. The app allows for real-time placement of rooms in live environments, adjusting their size and anchoring them so users can walk around and view them from different angles on their phones or tablets.
The Impulse
The Space Era AR Application is a mobile app designed to showcase architectural models for property managers, architects, and agents. With this app, users can view 3D models of properties from both the outside and inside, layer by layer, room by room. The app allows for real-time placement of rooms in live environments, adjusting their size and anchoring them so users can walk around and view them from different angles on their phones.
The app is available on google play (Android) and app store (IOS) , offering an interactive and immersive property viewing experience.
The Challenge
Creating an AR application that offers seamless, detailed exploration of complex architectural models in real-time posed a significant challenge. The key objectives were:
- Realistic Visualization: Ensuring the models maintained visual fidelity when viewed from different angles and scales.
- Interactivity: Allowing users to manipulate properties, such as changing colors and textures within the model.
- Usability: Making the app intuitive and accessible to users without technical expertise.
- Device Compatibility: Building a cross-platform solution that works efficiently on both Android and iOS.
Solution Approach
The Space Era AR Application provides an immersive and detailed experience for exploring architectural properties. Users can:
- View properties inside and out, layer by layer.
- Place rooms into real-world settings using AR, adjusting the scale and moving around them.
- Customize apartment interiors, changing wall colors, floor textures, and more.
The app was built using the latest AR development technologies, ensuring smooth performance and interactivity. It offers a highly visual, user-friendly interface that enhances the property showcasing process.
Results
Cost, Time, and Efficiency
The app streamlines the property viewing process for property managers, agents, and potential buyers, saving time by eliminating the need for physical tours. The ability to explore properties in detail and adjust design elements remotely reduces costs associated with property showings and client interactions. The project was developed efficiently with Space Era GmbH, leveraging existing AR frameworks to ensure compatibility and performance on mobile devices.

Further Use Cases
The Space Era AR Application demonstrates the powerful capabilities of XR (Extended Reality) for property management and real estate:
-
For Property Managers and Agents: Showcase properties to clients remotely with detailed interactive views.
-
For Buyers and Renters: Experience properties in real-world settings before making a decision.
-
For Architects and Designers: Use the app to present their designs to clients and make real-time adjustments based on feedback.
