The Smart Projection Device Helps With Upholstery and Furniture Shopping

— September 17, 2014 — Business
The introduction of augmented reality technology to retail or furniture shopping is not the newest idea. However, this smart projection device from Vizera does more than let you virtually fit a piece into a potential space. Their real-time upholstery projections on actual furniture allow you to test different shades in store and pick the right fabric for your home.

Their easy to use tablet interface makes furniture shopping less of a pain than ever. By previewing designs beforehand, you won't have the problem of ordering it and becoming displeased with the final result if they don't have the exact model in stock. Retail locations using the smart projector will also have a less difficult time with their inventory.
