Overview

Most shoppers struggle to picture how a product will look or fit. Konfigear’s WebAR technology solves this by enabling real-time placement of 3D models in the user’s environment through their phone camera. Whether it’s furniture in a living room or a machine on a factory floor, AR helps customers make confident purchase decisions.

Real-life context is one of the biggest gaps in online product discovery. This capability lets customers place products in their own environment through browser-based AR, then continue into configuration and purchase without switching tools. It is especially effective for furniture, equipment, and other products where scale and fit drive buying confidence.

Key Benefits

Increase engagement and cut returns by helping buyers experience the product in real scale and context.

  • Web-based AR — no installation needed
  • True-to-scale 3D model placement
  • Compatible with iOS and Android devices
