Meta revealed a new tool using augmented reality for interior design on Facebook. This feature lets people see virtual furniture and decorations inside their own homes through their phone camera. Users can try different items before buying anything. The goal is to make redecorating easier and more fun.
People can browse furniture and home goods from various brands directly on Facebook. They select an item they like. Then they use their phone to see how it looks in their actual living space. The tool scales the virtual object correctly. It shows the item from different angles. This helps users judge size, style, and color fit accurately.
The tool aims to reduce mistakes when buying furniture online. Seeing an item in your actual room gives a better sense of it. This could mean fewer returns. It also lets people experiment with styles safely. They can try bold choices without commitment.
Users can share their virtual room designs with friends on Facebook. They can ask for opinions. This adds a social element to home decorating. Friends can suggest different items or arrangements.
