About

ABSORBRELLA AR

Features
Read full description

ABSORBRELLA AR is the tool ISINAC sales reps use to solve the noise of a terrace, a courtyard or any outdoor area in a single visit. HOW IT WORKS 1. Point the camera and sweep the floor: the app recognises the space and measures the area on its own. 2. Choose the ABSORBRELLA product, its size and the ECONOMY or PREMIUM finish. 3. Tap the scene and the product appears at real size, in the exact colour from the fabric chart. 4. Open ACOUSTICS and see how many decibels the noise drops, with the per-band curve and the reverberation time before and after. 5. Generate the quote with the official ISINAC price list and email it without leaving the app. WHAT YOU CAN PLACE PARASOL, PALILLERO, CARPA, SAIL and JAIMA, the five made-to-measure products of the official price list, plus the AWNING as an installation type and the MADE-TO-MEASURE canopy you define yourself by marking three points. THE COLOURS ARE THE REAL ONES In ECONOMY you choose the ILUCS acoustic fabric; in PREMIUM, ILUCS plus the IZZER fins that hang under the canopy. Every colour has been measured on the real fabric sample, so what your customer sees on screen is what they will receive. WHY THE NUMBERS CAN BE TRUSTED The calculation uses the laboratory absorption coefficients of the ABSORBRELLA fabrics under EN ISO 354:2003, and our in-house acoustic engine for semi-open spaces. The app always tells measurement and estimate apart and flags every estimate: we would rather tell you we don't know than give you a pretty number that is wrong. IT WORKS WHERE YOU WORK The whole catalogue ships inside the app, so it works on a terrace with no coverage. The camera is processed on your device and no videos are recorded. Only a screenshot of the augmented reality screen, with the pieces placed, is sent for the technical report and the budget email. IN THE 24 LANGUAGES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION The whole app, including the quote email your customer receives, speaks the 24 official EU languages. Switch instantly with the globe button, no restart needed. WHO IT IS FOR For any professional looking to solve noise in an outdoor space: hospitality, architecture, interior design, installers, and distributors. The app is free and passwordless: it only requires a quick registration (first name, last name, company, country, phone, and email). REQUIREMENTS iPhone or iPad with iOS 18 or later. LiDAR is not required: on devices that have it (iPhone Pro, iPad Pro) you also get the scanning mesh and a more precise measurement.
