AR Furniture Placement Ads

This Wayfair Ad Promotes its New Technology

— November 14, 2017 — Art & Design
The new Wayfair ad reveals the brand's new technology, which it created in collaboration with ASUS and Verizon.

The ad shows that by downloading the Wayfair 3D/AR video, users are able to test out how Wayfair's furniture will look in their home. The app lets users play around with the furniture Wayfair offers, and place it in different areas of their home with its augmented reality technology – allowing people to better visualize how products look before purchasing them online.

One of the main concerns regarding online shopping is that the items in reality may not fit, or look as good as they do online – and the new app that this Wayfair ad reveals is an effective way to combat this problem.
