        abstract = {Abstract— The IKEA catalog lies. So does every other glossy furniture lookbook, for that matter. The whole experience is a masterclass in disappointment, a slow-burn tragedy that usually ends with a piece of furniture that’s either comically oversized or laughably small for your’actual living space. So when someone pitches yet another AR app promising to save us from our own terrible spatial reasoning, my default setting is skeptical. The pitch is familiar: point your phone at your sad, empty room and start dropping in digital couches and coffee tables. But this one tries to do a bit more than just prevent that specific brand of buyer’s remorse—the kind that hits when you realize the Scandinavian-chic bookshelf you just spent an hour assembling with a tiny Allen key is approximately the size of a shoebox.
It even bakes in Vastu Shastra principles to guide your furniture Tetris, which is... a choice. So, theoretically, your sofa won’t just fit, it’ll be “energetically balanced.” (Whatever that means. I’m pretty sure my energy is most balanced when I don’t have to return a 200-pound sectional, but maybe that’s just me.) Beyond the cosmic alignment of your chaise lounge, you can slap some virtual paint on the walls or preview glass materials, solving that age-old problem of agonizing over frosted versus clear panels. It’ll also suggest actual, buyable furniture that fits your budget, saving you from the heartbreak of designing a dream room only to discover it costs more than your car.
The whole thing is stitched together with the usual suspects—ARCore, Unity, a dash of TensorFlow Lite—to make sure the digital ottoman doesn’t clip through your real-life cat. Is it redefining interior design? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. But if it can save a few thousand people from the headache of building a piece of furniture only to realize it’s all wrong for the space, then maybe it’s earned its spot on your phone.},
