One of our local dealers will contact you shortly. - After Calibration - use the Recent Selections feature to select a previously selected product and fabric. App Promo Video: https://youtu.be/EB6ynVwu4Fo Useful Tips: 1) Close other apps before using Visualizer to improve performance; 2) Calibration works by scanning your floor and other surfaces. Make sure they are clear of any obstacles. You may scan multiple surfaces for better AR calibration. Avoid scanning glass surfaces; 3) Make sure there is a sufficient level of light in the room for AR surface calibration to be successful; 4) The more you use the app, the more familiar you with get with adjusting AR coverings; 5) Please watch the promo video; 6) If a glitch were to occur during use, please press reset and redo the calibration process. 7) Make sure to take photos and record videos during your design process.
