We built ARView to answer one question: "How will it look in my space?"
ARView is a web-based augmented reality platform from Dubai. Upload a 3D model, get a link and a QR code, and anyone can see the product in their own room through their phone camera, at real size, without installing an app.
It started in a design studio, not a tech company
EFEKT is a product design studio in Dubai that makes acoustic products: ceiling clouds, baffles, wall panels and partitions. Most of its work starts with an architect or interior designer, and almost every meeting reached the same point. They would look at the photo or hold the sample and ask how it would look in their space.
Photos, renders and samples could not really answer that. Samples show texture but not scale, and renders take time and money. Many meetings ended with "let me think about it".
The AR tools we found either needed the client to download an app, needed a developer for every model, or were priced for large retailers. So the EFEKT team built what it needed: upload a 3D model, send a link or QR code, and let the client stand in the real room and see the product there.
That tool became ARView. Today it is used by online stores, interior designers, architects, restaurants, fashion brands and 3D artists, and it works on iPhone, Android, Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest. You can read the full story in "We Kept Losing the Same Conversation, So I Built ARView".
