Augmented
Although Virtual Reality is currently in fashion thanks to glasses like the Oculus Rift of Facebook, HTC's ReVive or even Cardboardof Google, there are still those who bet on Augmented Reality Another type of technology as well striking that has many practical and also commercial applications. And is that who would not want to try furniture directly in their living room to see how they would look without having to buy them or carry them? These and other qualities have the application Augmented
It is a tool that exploits the technology of Augmented Reality seeking to be a platform for the commercial area And it is that its main practical applications are to get to know a product almost first-hand or facilitate the work of those who wish to design a space prior to bringing the furniture, shop windows and decorative elements to said place. All this using a smartphone or tablet to represent a reality that does not exist in the physical world , but that can be seen and almost felt through the screen.
The mission of Augmented is to help merchants position their stands and products in front of customers without having to take them with them. To do this, they create models in 3D, that is, virtual objects in volume, which can be seen on smartphones or tablets The difference is that the end user can use the device's camera to focus on a specific point in the premises or room to create this Augmented Reality and combine them in one said image 3D object and a completely real environment.
Just install the application, start it and choose any of the objects already available for use. This activates the camera of the device to capture the real image, also placing the virtual objecton the screen realistically, with a size proportional to reality. In addition, the user can reposition, rotate and plant it anywhere, being able to move around with the device to look at it from any perspective and get an idea of what it would look like if it were really there.
But not only with objects like furniture and shelves. In Augmented there is also room for small objects such as lamps, slippers and other things that companies want to add to their collection, allowing real users to almost have them in hand .Just download and print the code to scan it with the application and see the object on the device screen. Something that Augmented has taken a step further, allowing it to be done through advertisements in magazines and other more handy images where they have managed to introduce their technology.
In short, a curious option for merchants, as well as for all those interested in the world of Augmented Reality who want to try a useful and valid application for many different utilities. The best part is that Augmented is free and is available for both Android as for iOS Can be obtained via Google Play and App Store
