Turn where you live into a "lifelong home." HomeFit AR helps you discover what improvements can be made to make your home comfortable, safe and a great fit. The app uses image recognition to identify design elements and appliances like refrigerators, sinks and stairs, then employs augmented reality to provide additional information with specific “to-dos” or fixes to help you stay in the home you love. How it works: Scan the room: Using your iPhone or iPad's camera, the app scans the room and recognizes design elements and appliances. Discover improvements: The app offers tips and suggestions to make the appliances and design elements more accommodating in the home. Implement solutions: An assessment report is provided with a checklist of “do-it-yourself” items and those that are best to be completed by a hired professional.
