The homeAR Edge: Ep01 Full-scale Augmented Reality Viewing

We’ve assembled some quick tips on get the most out of homeAR. Over the next few weeks we’ll be sending them through, hopefully to help you unlock that extra little nugget of value from homeAR when you’re dealing with prospects or clients.

First up, we're going to talk about...

Choosing an AR viewing mode

Right at the center of homeAR is of course the AR views themselves. homeAR has two AR viewing modes - Full Scale and Dolls House (we used to call it “Table Scale”) and both have an important role to play in your customer experience.

Full Scale View

As the name suggests, this is designed to be used when you want to give your client the full size experience of their new home.

 Other ways we see Full Scale view used:

1. Understanding a building's impact on view shafts
2. Helping to alleviate the concerns of neighbors and “NIMBY’s”
3. Determining the best position on a lot
4. Helping contractors visualize what they are creating. 

If you have other ways you're finding homeAR's Full Scale view useful we'd love to hear about that too!

 
Pro Tip 1: The most important thing is you’ll need plenty of space for this - we don’t recommend using this indoors unless you have enough space to fit a whole house!

Pro Tip 2: Don’t spend too much time looking upwards. The app relies on understanding where the ground is, so the experience can move if you point the camera towards the sky for too long.

That's it for this update. In our next installment we'll talk about augmented reality viewing in Dolls House mode - when to use it and how to get the most from it. Stay tuned!
