AR Real Estate Visualization System for Property Modification Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Buyers and renters of real estate properties face challenges in visualizing potential modifications and additions, leading to discrepancies between expectations and reality, as existing augmented reality (AR) technologies primarily focus on embedding objects without connecting to subsequent retail or service processes.
Innovation Solution
An AR-based system that receives requests for digital improvements, identifies relevant characteristics, and transmits them to an AR-enabled application, allowing for visual insertion of digital objects into property presentations, connecting users with retailers and contractors for real-time quotes and recommendations based on product catalogs and consumer demographics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If augmented reality is used to overlay digital improvements on real estate properties, then users can visualize potential modifications and make informed decisions, but the system complexity increases due to integration with retail and service processes
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into separate functional modules: an AR module for visualization, a retail module for product information, and a service module for contractor connections. Each module operates independently but communicates through standardized interfaces, allowing the system to provide comprehensive functionality while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The AR platform serves multiple functions simultaneously: it visualizes digital improvements, provides product catalog information, connects users with retailers, and links to service providers. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems into a single unified platform, reducing overall system complexity while enhancing visualization capabilities.
2Loss of information
If detailed product information and pricing are integrated into the AR presentation, then users can make more informed decisions, but the information processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
Product catalogs, pricing information, and contractor details are pre-loaded and organized in the system before users initiate AR presentations. When users view properties, this pre-processed information is immediately available for display, eliminating the need for real-time data retrieval and processing during the AR experience, thus providing comprehensive information without delaying decision-making.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides immediate feedback by displaying relevant product information and pricing directly within the AR visualization as users interact with digital improvements. This real-time feedback mechanism allows users to make informed decisions during the visualization process itself, rather than requiring separate information-gathering steps that would extend decision-making time.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system connects users with multiple retailers and contractors for real-time quotes, then the quality of service improves, but the operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The AR platform acts as an intermediary between users and multiple retailers or contractors. Instead of requiring users to directly coordinate with multiple service providers, the system consolidates quote requests, manages communications, and presents consolidated information to users. This intermediary role simplifies the coordination complexity while maintaining the ability to connect users with multiple service providers for competitive pricing and selection.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for using augmented reality-based operations to interact with and analyze real estate property, including modifications and additions to the interior of the property. One example method includes receiving, from an augmented reality-enabled application, a request identifying at least one digital improvement associated with a particular real estate property. A set of characteristics associated with the at least one digital improvement are identified, and a response including at least a portion of the identified set of characteristics associated with the at least one digital improvement and a digital object representing the at least one digital improvement is transmitted to the augmented reality-enabled application. The digital object can visually represent the at least one digital improvement, and can be inserted in an augmented reality-based presentation of the particular real estate property using the augmented reality-enabled application.
