Tempotest Visualizer is the new application for tablets and smartphones that allows, through the technology of augmented reality, to easily and in an amusing way choose the model of awning and the Tempotest® fabric ideal to satisfy any stylistic need. Tempotest Visualizer allows you to see the awning in 3D directly on your home wall and to be able to dress it at will with all the fabrics available in the Tempotest® collection. The awning, placed virtually above your window, can then be adapted to the dimensions according to different tastes or needs, maintaining the reports of Tempotest® fabric drawings in real scale. The curtain will then be visible from different angles just as if it were actually mounted. It will therefore be possible to choose the Tempotest® fabric that you like the most after having actually seen several combinations with the façade of your home. Tempotest Visualizer allows all this in four simple steps: INSERT the wall and insert one or more awnings. CHOOSE the tent model you are interested in and the Tempotest® fabric you like best. POSITION and modulate the tent with the use of device gestures. TAKE a picture to send it or share it with whoever you want, even on social networks. Tempotest Visualizer encompasses the use of innovative augmented reality technology in its simplicity and ease of use: choosing the model and the most suitable Tempotest® fabric will be so easy and fast. In addition, the entire Tempotest catalog to browse through and a store locator to easily find the nearest retailer is available within the app.
