Objective:

To develop an intuitive AR-enabled mobile app for DecoraAR that empowers customers to visualize home décor products in their real environment—reducing return rates, boosting mobile conversions, and positioning the brand as a tech-forward alternative to larger competitors.

⚠️ Client Problem

DecoraAR was a new eCommerce startup selling home décor items online (lamps, rugs, wall art, vases, etc.).

  • Their Biggest Hurdles:
  • ❌ High product return rates (over 28%) due to mismatched sizing or colors
  • ❌ Low conversion rate on mobile (0.9%)
  • ❌ Customers hesitant to buy without visualizing items in their space
  • ❌ Lacked a tech edge to compete with brands like Wayfair & IKEA

QuickBite needed an affordable, functional Android app to serve their Android-heavy user base and build a digital identity fast.

✅ Our Solution

We developed a mobile AR app that lets users visualize home décor items in real-time using their phone camera.

  • What We Did:
  • • Designed intuitive UI for non-tech-savvy users
  • • Integrated ARCore (Android) and ARKit (iOS) for seamless markerless AR
  • • Allowed users to drag, rotate, resize items in their space
  • • Sync with eCommerce store for one-tap purchase after preview
  • • WebXR + Oculus SDK for headset compatibility
  • • Built an admin dashboard to manage and upload new 3D models
  • • Included lighting simulation to preview objects in different times of the day
