The process of getting a quote on a home service project can be a lengthy one, but Streem is an app that promises to shorten this timeline with the use of augmented reality.
Streem's app makes the most of Apple's ARKit and equips home improvement professionals with a Digital Toolbox that allows for images to be captured and measurements to be taken on the spot. On top of this, the app boasts the ability to recognize logos, different types of products, dimensions, as well as model and serial numbers.
Ordinarily, a service provider's time is taken up by traveling to a potential job site and homeowners often must take a few hours of their day to spend time on-site for a quick consultation. As Streem CEO Ryan Fink describes: "We’re bringing home services into the on-demand economy."
