For my third AR Module assignment, I decided to review the Houzz app, which specializes in selling furniture and interior design products.
Houzz uses AR to enhance the shopping experience for its customers by allowing them to visualize how home goods will look in their own space before making a purchase.
The app has a really visually appealing and aesthetic design.
My AR experience:
PROS:
- The app includes a strong community aspect, allowing users to ask questions, share ideas, and get feedback from others;
- The AR feature enhances the shopping experience by allowing users to visualize how furniture will look in their own space before making a purchase;
- The AR feature is relatively easy to use, with clear instructions on how to access and utilize it within the app;
- Users can interact with the AR models, such as rotating them or moving them around in their space, providing a more immersive experience.
CONS:
- The app can be overwhelming for new users, with a lot of content and features that may be difficult to navigate at first.
- Not all products in the app support the AR feature, which can be frustrating for users looking to visualize a specific item;
- AR models don’t show the material from which the furniture is made;
- AR feature sometimes works pretty slow.
In conclusion, I want to say I really enjoyed using Houzz because I’m really into interior design. I find the AR feature in this app really useful, even though it needs some improvement.
