Furniture has a unique problem in e-commerce. Unlike clothing — where the issue is fit on a body — furniture requires customers to understand how a product will interact with their specific room. Will the sofa be too large? Does the colour work with the existing floor? These questions cannot be answered by a product image, no matter how good.
Wall Boundary Mapping — detects walls, windows, doors, and architectural features
Spatial Scale Calibration — uses doors and windows to estimate room dimensions
Smart Relighting — reads room's light sources and replicates them on placed furniture
