Try at Home: 3D & AR Viewer (Best Match)
Real-size AR in the shopper's room, with the 3D model generated from a photo
From ~$14.90/mo · 14-day trial
Try at Home solves the problem every other AR app skips: you do not have 3D models. Pick a product photo, enter the real dimensions, and it generates the model, locks the scale and publishes it. Shoppers point a phone at the room and see the product at true size. Wall art, rugs and mirrors need no model and are free.
Pros
- Generates the 3D model from a product photo
- True scale locked to the centimetres you enter
- iPhone Quick Look, Android Scene Viewer, desktop with QR
- Flat items (art, rugs, mirrors) work free with no model
- Theme app extension only, no page speed impact
Cons
- Generated models are good for size, not close-up detail
- Per-model generation fee on top of the plan
- New on the App Store
Skip it if: You sell configurable products and already have 3D assets. That is Angle's job.
