Testing awnings with virtual technology

New 3D-augmented reality App simplifies awning purchases

A house wall cannot simply try on an awning to see whether the design and colour of the fabric looks good …, well until now it couldn’t! Recently, an App has been made available to facilitate exactly that. With the assistance of Augmented Reality, an awning can be projected onto a house allowing you to check which model, colour, fabric etc. you like.

Augmented Reality is establishing itself in our everyday lives. It combines real and virtual worlds, and is intended to make life easier for us. On Smartphones and Tablets, mobile 3D applications already enrich camera images from our surroundings with helpful information. Service offers and product presentations benefit from this method in particular, because customers can immerse themselves into a virtual, expanded world, and can easily experience products whilst sitting on their sofas at home. For example, markilux invites you to investigate its product range of folding-arm awnings and solar protection materials using a 3D App. The app is a tool which makes it possible to configure markilux awnings and which is available on the company’s website.

3D App is child’s play to use
However, the App takes things yet another step further. You can now project the awning in virtual form onto the patio wall so that you can consider it from every perspective. In this way, it is easier to decide which type of awning matches the house best, and whether your preferred fabric colour really is the right one. For this purpose, you just need to load the app onto your Smartphone or Tablet, and off you go! Simply fix three points on the wall and “install” the awning in the desired position. Subsequently, the app offers many features so that you can experiment with different awning models. The width, depth, colour and accessories can be altered as required. The awning can be extended and retracted, and several additional functions can also be called up. With amazing realism, this app uncannily shows what a product will look like on the wall of your house, and is simply great fun when you are looking for an awning to match your home! 2,190 characters
