The app will ask you to walk around the floor of the room to scan it. Then, by means of a simple button, you will be able to enter the Ikea catalog with more than 2,000 products from the store.

The application automatically scales the products you select according to the dimensions of the room. It is 98% accurate, almost one hundred percent.
