Pinterest is introducing a new Try On for Home Decor feature in its mobile app that lets you preview furniture in your home via augmented reality (AR).
Pinterest launches new AR feature!!
The goal of the feature is to see how different types of home decor will look in your home before you buy them. Pinterest is partnering with US retailers like West Elm and Wayfair to make this AR preview capability possible.
The feature uses Pinterest Lens, a technology that normally scans objects and shows you items with similar styles and designs on the app. For this new feature, you’ll find a button on select product listings that will display the AR preview.
From there, you can place the AR furniture around your home and view it from different angles to see how it will look in your space. According to Pinterest, more than 80,000 pieces of furniture will be previewed via “shoppable Pins” at launch, so not every item on the platform will have this capability.
