# AR Quote Apps 'Streem' Uses Augmented Tech to Provide Estimates for Home Services By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-10-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streem References: [digitaltrends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/streem-ar-app-home-improvement/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [streem.pro](https://www.streem.pro/) The process of getting a quote on a home service project can be a lengthy one, but [Streem](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-communication) is an app that promises to shorten this timeline with the use of [augmented reality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spotselfie-ar-meta-stores). Streem's app makes the most of [Apple's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowes-style-studio-for-apple-vision-pro) ARKit and equips home improvement professionals with a Digital Toolbox that allows for images to be captured and measurements to be taken on the spot. On top of this, the app boasts the ability to recognize logos, different types of products, dimensions, as well as model and serial numbers. Ordinarily, a service provider's time is taken up by traveling to a potential job site and homeowners often must take a few hours of their day to spend time on-site for a quick consultation. As Streem CEO Ryan Fink describes: "We’re bringing home services into the on-demand economy." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Augmented Reality Home Services:** Opportunity for home service professionals to deploy AR tools to provide more efficient and effective services. - **On-demand Home Service Platforms:** Opportunity for companies to develop mobile and web-based platforms that connect homeowners with local professionals for efficient and convenient services. - **Visual Recognition Technology for Home Services:** Opportunity for service providers to deploy AI and visual recognition technologies to streamline and automate the quoting and estimation process. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Improvement Services:** Opportunity for home improvement services to adopt AR-powered tools to streamline and extend their service offering. - **Mobile App Development:** Opportunity for mobile app development companies to design and develop AR-powered, on-demand home service platforms. - **Computer Vision and AI Service Providers:** Opportunity for computer vision and AI service providers to offer visual recognition technologies and tools for home service professionals to streamline their process. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AR Measurement Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/measure-tools.md) - [3D AR Home Improvement Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomle.md) - [AR-Powered Home Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houzz-pro.md) - [Room-Scanning Home Renovation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/measure-your-space.md) - [AR Ruler Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-ruler.md) - [Augmented Reality Cleaning Innovation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-check.md) - [AR Apartment Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-apartment.md) - [Immersive Spatial DIY Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowes-style-studio-for-apple-vision-pro.md) - [AR Furniture Testing Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinterest-ar-furniture.md)
