Wayfair added 3D visualization tools into its app, in order to help people visualize how different furniture would fit into their home. One of the 3D visualization tools is titled 'Interactive Photo,' and it runs on AR. The features enable consumers to take a photo of a room, and then the tools will be able to show what different items would look like in the room.
Additionally, the Wayfair app was updated to include more camera tools. The new camera tools can be selected by using different swipe gestures.
The app also has another feature called 'Room Planner 3D,' which allows users to create a room that they can view from multiple different angles and try out different room layouts.
