360° view
Create a 360° image with HomeByMe in order to visualize your design from all angles. Using your computer, smartphone or tablet, you can zoom and rotate to see the room from a first-person perspective. 360° images are helpful when making design decisions, like choosing furniture, fixtures and finishes. Making a 360° image is easy: simply order it on the HomeByMe website, click to create a 360° image of your project and receive it by email. Once you’ve received your image, you can instantly share it online with friends and family.
Augmented Reality
HomeByMe offers the possibility to design your home with Augmented Reality. Furnishing your home is so much easier when you can visualize the furniture in its place before buying it. Using our specialized application, simply select a piece of furniture from HomeByMe’s product catalog, scan your room using your iPhone or iPad, and view the furniture as it would look in your home. If you need a second opinion, you can take a photo within the app and share it online with friends and family.
Virtual Reality
HomeByMe’s Virtual Reality (VR) experience takes your design process to the next level. Using a VR headset, such as the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, you can truly immerse yourself in your project, both during the design phase and afterwards, as a virtual walkthrough. Visualise your project from every angle and decorate your home, by adding items from the catalogue, whilst virtually standing inside your home. All objects will appear life-size, allowing you to really experience your new interior and experiment with different designs, until you find one that suits your style.
