What if you could use the augmented reality features of a LiDAR-equipped iPhone to see how a room might look with all its furniture removed? That\u2019s the idea behind a new AR prototype shown off by Shopify\u2019s Russ Maschmeyer on Twitter<\/a>. The demo, which he refers to as a \u201creset button\u201d for a room, puts Ikea\u2019s virtual design tool<\/a> to shame. But it\u2019s just an internal experiment for now that offers an interesting peek at the kinds of experiences that could be possible with Apple\u2019s latest AR APIs. <\/p>\n

In a video, Maschmeyer shows how the prototype is able to seamlessly erase a room\u2019s contents, allowing the iPhone to be used to peer around the empty space in AR. In subsequent tweets, Maschmeyer explains how the technology might one day be useful for e-commerce sites, allowing them to show customers how new furniture could look at home without existing furniture getting in the way.<\/p>\n

The prototype is built with Apple\u2019s RoomPlan API, a tool for developers that the company detailed at WWDC this year<\/a>. It\u2019s designed to let an iPhone or iPad equipped with a LiDAR sensor scan a room, understand its geometry and furniture, and build a 3D model that app developers can use however they want. <\/p>\n

Maschmeyer\u2019s thread is an interesting look at what Apple\u2019s technology is like to use in practice. For example, he explains how the model generated from the scan is completely untextured, so Shopify\u2019s prototype needs to gather texture data from the phone\u2019s camera, and then work out how to extend those textures behind the furniture that might currently be obscuring parts of the walls and floors. It then overlays the resulting 3D model onto the real room. <\/p>\n

The results, it has to be said, are a lot more impressive than what I experienced when I tried out a similar virtual design tool from Ikea<\/a>. Although Ikea\u2019s app is also able to erase furniture from a room, it\u2019s only able to present the results as a 2D image. In contrast, Shopify\u2019s prototype seems to allow you to continue looking around the (now empty) room in augmented reality. But, in fairness to Ikea, its approach doesn\u2019t require a LiDAR-equipped iPhone (any iPhone will do). It\u2019s also a real piece of technology that people can download and use in their own homes, rather than an internal tech demo. <\/p>\n

Apple has been showing off its AR tools at developer conference for years, but I think it\u2019s fair to say that we\u2019ve yet to see a killer app for the technology emerge (I don\u2019t count Pok\u00e9mon Go because of how so many people play without the AR mode enabled). But prototypes like these make me hopeful that interesting uses for the technology could be just around the corner. Like, maybe January when Apple\u2019s AR \/ VR headset is rumored for release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
