Introduction

Our platform department hosted an engaging event known as Hackathon, where the primary goal was to conceive and construct a fully functional application within a single day.

Given the time constraints, we adopted a simulation approach, leveraging screenshots and selective fabrication to meet the deadline. The initial portion of the day was dedicated to user experience, brainstorming, and design.

The subsequent phase revolved around the collaboration between designers and developers to implement the design. This involved close cooperation, with both parties sitting together in a dedicated meeting room for a collaborative brainstorming session. The overarching objective was clear: build an app within a day.

Vision

Our collective vision centered around creating an augmented reality experience that empowers shoppers to personalize and visualize a diverse range of products, from furniture to frames and home decor items. The aim was to revolutionize the typical shopping experience on our platform. Our target audience comprised tech-savvy consumers, constantly seeking innovation.

Inspiration for this project stemmed from the success of IKEA and its own AR-powered home design app, IKEA Studio
