Hisense launches new AR app to virtually try before you buy
Hisense Australia has launched a new augmented reality app that will allow customers to see how its TV, refrigerators and washing machines would look in their home before they’ve even stepped out the door.
The Hisense Home AR app is available for iPhone, iPad and Android devices and was developed in partnership with the Hisense R&D team and an Australian app developer.
The interactive app gives customers a new way to browse the Hisense 2019 range of products which include televisions, washing machines and refrigerators and virtually place them in their home.
The Apple take into account the customer’s space and requirements and accurately measure the available area in three dimensions so there’s no need to pull out a tape measure.
The AR component then makes it possible to view a true-to-scale product in their home before purchase.
The app will also provide information on specifications and even find the nearest retailer – and all before the customer has even left the house.
The Hisense Home AR app will also be able to recommend complimentary products for the customer’s home which will include things like soundbars to go with a TV purchase.
“At Hisense, we pride ourselves on innovation and customer service, and are always looking for ways to add value for our customers, providing them with the tools they need to easily find a product that is right for them,” said Andre Iannuzzi, Hisense Australia head of marketing.
“Our Hisense Home AR app not only gives customers everything they need to accurately measure how Hisense products will fit in their space, but also allows them to see what the product will look like with ultra-realistic detail, minimising the barrier to purchase.”
“Globally, Hisense is a brand that stands for innovation and we are proud to be bringing this intuitive, easy-to-use app to our customer after 12 months of development with our local R&D team.
“We strive to be at the forefront of technology advances and our app is a first for the Hisense business globally – a fantastic achievement for our local team.”
The Hisense Home AR can be downloaded now for free from the App Store and the Google Play Store.
