“At Wayfair, we know that visual inspiration and discovery are key to
creating the best possible shopping experience for home. That’s why
we’ve always taken the lead in setting industry standards in 3D modeling
and visualization, and in building innovative applications that will
transform the way people shop for their homes,” said Steve Conine,
co-chairman and co-founder, Wayfair. “Alongside Magic Leap, we’re
excited to be on the forefront of one of the most visionary explorations
of what’s possible in retail, as mixed reality and spatial computing
influence the future of the customer experience.”
Wayfair Spaces is a design experience that presents a palette of
three-dimensional rooms professionally curated by Wayfair’s own 3D
artists and stylists, from contemporary living rooms and coastal
kitchens to industrial office spaces. From a bird’s-eye view, consumers
can browse these curated spaces for inspiration, and then drag
individual furniture items into their real space, where they transform
into true-to-scale products and anchor to their physical room. Consumers
can also easily pull up product information and reviews.
“Our app on Magic Leap offers a new level of interior design inspiration
through a totally immersive design process, letting consumers play with,
and visualize a multitude of design options with ease – and all within
their own space,” noted Shrenik Sadalgi, head of Next Gen Experiences,
Wayfair. “Whether designing in Wayfair Spaces or exploring Wayfair
products in the Helio web browser, we’re giving Magic Leap users
multiple ways to explore products for the home and have fun designing
spaces they’ll love through intuitive and delightful mixed-reality
interactions.”
Wayfair Spaces is available in the Magic Leap app store, ML World.
Additionally, shoppers can find the Wayfair web experience by visiting
next.wayfair.com in the Helio browser. For L.E.A.P. attendees, Wayfair
Spaces will be available for demo in the Demo Annex. To learn more about
the Wayfair experience for the Helio browser, join the LuminOS: Mixed
