[ExI] Augmented Reality in the Home

[BillK]

You can now use Augmented Reality when shopping to see what furniture
etc. would look like when in your home.

Seamless Augmented Reality
Product Visualization

Augment’s AR platform connects retailers and manufacturers, allowing
online shoppers to experience products at home before buying.

It strikes me that this is only a small step away from never having to
shop or redecorate again.

If you wear AR goggles, you can make your home appear to be a palace.
The AR would recognise where objects are in your home and replace each
object image with an image of your choice.

You might live in an absolute hovel, but to you it would appear like
the Trump Palace. (Oh, well, maybe not exactly like that). :)

Even better, your partner can choose different images that they prefer
and you are both happy.
No more arguments about that lime-green wallpaper!

Let's hope that AR goggles get smaller and more convenient quickly.
