Le Sueur, Minnesota, Sept. 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cambria, the only family-owned, American-made quartz producer, announced an industry-first with the launch of Cambria AR, an augmented reality (AR) app that allows consumers to virtually sample Cambria’s beautiful countertop and surface designs in their homes or commercial spaces. Cambria AR is now available in Apple’s App Store. In addition, the company is introducing DragonVision, an interactive design tool, enabling users to realistically visualize and virtually design all components of their dream kitchen.
“These two new design tools -- Cambria AR and DragonVision -- are game changers in the design industry for consumers and professionals alike,” said Brian Peters, CMO at Cambria. “As the leader in stone surfaces, Cambria is adopting and bringing remarkable technology to market in a very simple but powerful app and design tool set. There’s no better way to see Cambria’s stunning designs than in your very own kitchen.”
CambriaAR
Using the latest Apple ARKit technology, Cambria AR allows consumers and trade professionals to virtually map countertops and overlay Cambria designs, replacing the existing surface with the virtual design. They can even share the images and designs online with friends, clients, and family.
Built to be intuitive, Cambria AR works in three easy steps:
- Scan: Use the app to scan your room and surface.
- Create and Edit: Using a simple touch interface, users outline their countertop, island, or area to see with virtual Cambria designs. Once the surface is mapped, the app automatically displays a new virtual surface. Users can choose from multiple design styles and swap back-and-forth to see how the design will look.
- Capture + Share: The app can capture and share photos or video of the virtual design, helping consumers make purchase decisions.
“AR will change the way consumers design their homes, and Cambria is facilitating this revolution in design innovation by integrating the virtual and real worlds nearly seamlessly,” said Marc Jensen, Chief Innovation Officer at space150, Cambria’s digital partner and developer of the Cambria AR tool. “Cambria AR sets a new bar for the consumer experience and solves a real challenge by making it as easy as possible to ‘try before you buy.”
Cambria AR is now available in the Apple App Store. For more information, please visit www.CambriaUSA.com/Cambria-AR
