Ever wondered what the latest Panasonic HD TVs would look like in your home? Well, with the use of a new iPhone application from Panasonic, you can now see them in position anywhere in your home using your iPhone and augmented reality (AR) technology.
Simply print off a special AR marker, with your pedestal or wall hanging preference, and place it in the position you would like your new HD TV to appear. Power up your iPhone and start the Panasonic VIERA AR Setup Simulator iPhone application and hey presto, the HD TV of your dreams will appear in the space.
How the Panasonic VIERA AR Setup Simulator Works
The Panasonic VIERA AR Setup Simulator leverages cutting-edge AR technology to provide a seamless and interactive experience. Once you have printed the AR marker, the app uses your iPhone’s camera to detect the marker and superimpose a 3D model of the TV onto your chosen spot. This allows you to visualize the TV in real-time, ensuring it fits perfectly with your room’s decor and layout. You can even switch between different models and sizes to find the best match for your space.
The application is designed to be user-friendly, making it accessible even for those who are not tech-savvy. The intuitive interface guides you through each step, from printing the marker to positioning the TV. This eliminates the guesswork and helps you make an informed decision before making a purchase.
Benefits of Using Augmented Reality for Home Setup
Using augmented reality for home setup offers several advantages. Firstly, it saves time and effort. Instead of visiting multiple stores or relying on your imagination, you can see the TV in your home environment instantly. This can be particularly useful for those with busy schedules or limited mobility.
Secondly, it reduces the risk of buyer’s remorse. By visualizing the TV in your space beforehand, you can ensure it meets your expectations in terms of size, style, and placement. This minimizes the chances of making a purchase that you later regret.
Additionally, the AR setup simulator can be a fun and engaging way to involve the whole family in the decision-making process. Everyone can have a say in where the TV should go and which model looks best, making it a collaborative and enjoyable experience.
Unfortunately, you can’t actually watch anything on it unless you part with your hard-earned cash. Watch the video after the break to see the new app in action.

**The application supports VIERA lineups that vary between countries and regions and displays a lineup according to a user’s country and region of residence.
