A 3D Plan in Just Seconds with the HomeByMe Room Scanner

One of the key challenges retailers face today – whether in home improvement, furniture, or kitchen stores – is capturing their audience's attention at the inspiration stage. 80% of consumers begin their furniture journey on a mobile phone or tablet, and many wish they had a magic wand to envision a new layout with ease.

The Room Scanner: A Free Feature Available to All Consumers

To capitalize on this critical inspiration phase, retailers can direct consumers to download the HomeByMe app for free, available on iPhone Pro. Featuring “LiDAR” technology, our models allow users to scan a room directly from the app and save it afterward. 

Users can choose to generate a 3D reconstruction of their space with or without existing furniture. In real-world use cases, a consumer looking to design a new kitchen often prefers to generate an empty room, while someone planning to replace a sofa or armchair may choose to include their current furniture.

Scanned Projects Can Be Imported Directly into the Retailer or Brand's Planner

Once a room scan is saved, consumers can go to a retailer’s or brand’s website equipped with the HomeByMe planner and import their project.

Their scanned room appears in both 2D and 3D with accurate dimensions. Consumers can start rearranging their space by swapping out furniture with pieces from the retailer's product catalog, or even begin a full kitchen design project.

The room scanner is particularly useful for kitchen projects, where taking accurate measurements to optimize every inch of space can be challenging.

With 95% accuracy, the room scanner measurements can’t replace a technical measurement before a kitchen installation, but they do fulfill the real need for consumers to visualize the space early on.

The room scanning feature is a unique and innovative tool that helps attract potential customers from the very beginning of their home furnishing journey – regardless of the type of room they’re planning.
