PlannerAR provides a user-friendly interface and a comprehensive set of design tools that allow users to easily create and customize interior layouts. Using augmented reality technology, PlannerAR enables users to visualize their projects in a real environment by simply pointing their device’s camera to overlay virtual furniture onto their physical space. This allows users to see how different pieces look and fit before making any design changes. PlannerAR also features Scan Room, an advanced AR-based tool that automatically scans real spaces, accurately detects the shape of rooms and walls, and instantly generates a precise 2D floor plan—without the need for a tape measure or manual measurements. The resulting plan can be exported as a PDF for further use or sharing. The app offers a large library of high-quality 3D design models, giving users the freedom to personalize their spaces according to their unique preferences and style. PlannerAR is a convenient and powerful interior design planner, perfectly suited for non-designers as well as professionals who want fast and accurate results. Functionality: - convenient scanning of the interior of the room; - simple management of furniture placement; - the possibility of creating a photo room after scanning; - convenient video recording of furniture placement control by the user; - regular updating of the catalog of furniture models; - save sessions; - convenient use of program functions; - the possibility of installing several models; - the ability to use modern "ARWorldMap" technology, namely this - technology displays the state in an AR session of image tracking, during which the device displays the user's position in physical space and proximity to anchor objects; - built-in User Guide to help users quickly learn app features and workflows; - automatic scanning of real space in augmented reality; - detection of room geometry, walls, and boundaries; - instant generation of an accurate 2D floor plan without manual measurements; - no need for a tape measure or manual input; - ability to export the generated floor plan to PDF.
