In the furniture and home furnishings sector, utilizing virtual reality can significantly enrich customer interactions. For instance, IKEA, a multinational Swedish company, introduced an AR catalogue app enabling customers to visualize furniture pieces within their homes. Through this app, consumers can virtually preview how items will appear and fit in their living spaces based on product dimensions. Indian brands such as Pepper Fry have also incorporated AR technology in their mobile apps to showcase how certain products would look in a home setting.
