Houzz Inc., the leading platform for home remodeling and design, recently introduced a new AR feature to help construction and design professionals to showcase their floor plans in 3D. The new feature, dubbed Houzz Pro, is an all-in-one business management and marketing solution that lets users walk homeowners through a virtual tour of their finished project against the backdrop of their current home.
"At Houzz, we’re focused on building technologies that make the home renovation and design experience more productive and enjoyable for industry professionals and their clients," said Alon Cohen, Houzz co-founder and president. "In the past year, the number of 3D Floor Plans created using Houzz Pro has more than tripled, signifying the important role that visual tools play in client communication. Now, we’ve created a true AR-enabled experience for residential construction and design pros to immerse their clients in a proposed renovation or redesign and better visualize how their space will be transformed."
AR views allow professionals to offer a life-sized walkthrough of Houzz Pro 3D Floor Plans to better communicate the benefits of making major changes to a home, such as adding or removing walls, windows, cabinets, or islands. In addition, professionals can show clients how proposed products and materials, such as furniture and countertops, will fit within their homes, speeding up the decision-making and purchasing process.
