Virtual Reality during setup
👁️🗨️ Article from the Kronen Zeitung Lower Austria
Background
Anyone who has ever had their kitchen or living spaces professionally designed knows how impressive the photorealistic 3D plans from interior design professionals are, whether displayed on large screens or printed plans, making it much easier to decide. However, the image was always only two-dimensional, and you still had to imagine, "What will this actually look like in my home?" For many customers, this is naturally a difficult decision; furnishing a home involves many emotions, questions, and uncertainties! We wanted to address this and support our customers in their purchasing decisions!
Virtual Reality finally puts an end to this uncertainty.
Goals
Thanks to the newly developed technology, your new kitchen, for example, is projected into a virtual space in real size. Using VR glasses, customers can not only view the new furnishings, but also move around in the virtual space – walking around, looking around, and truly experiencing the new furniture. This allows customers and prospective buyers to see not only the actual sizes but also the colors in their own homes.
The goal, of course, is to support customers in their purchasing decisions, give them confidence in their choices, and inspire them!
Customers should feel that they've come to the right place at Hofstätter Home Design 😊!
Milestones
Software Implementation
Our office equipment had to be upgraded accordingly, and the software implemented and tested.
Initial Customer Presentations
Finished plans, which would otherwise be printed, can be transferred to the new software. The customer puts on the VR headset and can experience their new living space virtually. We transport the customer into their personal living environment!
Other people can follow the process on a screen.
Results
The result is a resounding "WOW" from the customers!
Many who previously "only" held plans from architects, builders, and planners are now experiencing their personal living space for the first time.
Clearly, so far we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback and are delighting customers!
