I tried using "IKEA Place" that IKEA's furniture can be tried as much as I want in my room with full use of AR of iOS 11

"IKEA is developing an AR application with Apple, and it will be possible to test furniture of its own in the roomThat was reported from June 2017. By officially distributing iOS 11 on Wednesday, September 20, 2017, it means that this application can actually be used from the iPhone or iPad, so immediately using the application to stay in the room at home I tried it like IKEA's showroom.

IKEA Place is compatible with iOS 11 or higher, iPhone 6s · 12.9 inch iPad Pro or later terminal, but since you can not install from the Japanese App Store,You need to change the country setting of the App Store to America. So, with the country set to America, the "App Store"IKEA Place"Page and tap" GET ".


Tap "Install".


Tap "OPEN".


When the application starts up, the instruction starts in a conversational style. Tap "Let's do it".


It means that there is a need to use the camera, and then tap the "Sure thing" if there is no problem.


Tap "OK".


Then such a screen appeared. At the bottom left is a capture button for photos and movies, a browsing button on the furniture in the middle, and a setting button on the bottom right. Tap anywhere on the screen so ......


Start by grasping the space to place furniture. After catching the floor with a camera, a yellow dot appears by capturing various places in the room with a camera.


When grasping the space finished, it shifted to the screen as follows. Tap the "+" icon at the bottom center of the screen to select furniture to place.


Then the furniture browsing page appeared. For now, I will put a brown chair under the letter "GET STARTED". Tap the image of the chair ......


A chair appeared in the room. In the upper left of the screen is the name and price of the chair.


You can adjust the position and orientation by operating with your fingers. If you can place the furniture in a satisfactory location and orientation, press the blue check mark.


Fixed like this.


You can check the arrangement of furniture from the following movie.

Actually it is a desk only room ......


When turning the camera, the chair called ODGER exists properly.


By orienting the camera from various directions, you can see the chair from all angles. On the left side ... ....


Right obliquely upward


back


From the bottom and so on.


There are many other furniture on the browsing screen. From the bottom of the letter "HIGHLIGHT" you can color the furniture for each collection.


You can also color furniture by category, such as chair, sofa, desk, light.


So, I tried placing more furniture. When selecting furniture from the "+" icon, it is the mechanism that furniture is added to the place rapidly, so let's delete unnecessary furniture from the trash can icon.


With such a feeling, you can arrange several pieces of furniture on the spot and compare which one fits the atmosphere of the room. When you tap the shooting button at the bottom right of the screen, photos of the furniture will be captured.


It is OK even if you send an e-mail saying "Which furniture would you like?" To the same person by e-mail etc. from the share button.


Also, you can shoot a movie by holding down the shooting button for a long time. The movies taken from various directions of furniture actually placed are as follows.

I arranged rows of zlat and chairs. When arranging five chairs, the room becomes quite small ... because it is Zakkuri, I understand it.


More sofa added.


Changing the angle of holding the camera shows that the position of the outlet from the sofa is not strictly constant. It seems that completely accurate size furniture can not be placed in the room, so I am concerned about the survey "Can you put furniture in this space?", But it was rough that the furniture matched the atmosphere of the room It is perfect for checking.



In addition, the application is still a bit awkward in motion, failing to grasp the space and the chair floating in the air ......


There were times when it became extremely small size.
