This is a cool gimmick from Sony, you can now test and see virtually what will be the look of your living room, bed room or even your viewing room by using their augmented reality to test what is the best TV for your home or office. All you need to do is take a photo of your wall or your TV desk table and then print out that augmented reality paper base and then stick it in to the space were you want to see your TV, and then upload the photo you took to a website and see a virtual view of your room with a virtual TV.
How it worksSony launches this online tool to help people find the right size of their TV for their home and help them get a strategic view of what it will look like with a real tv virtually.
The prospective TV buyer simply goes to the TV Size Guide website and follows four easy steps:
1. Download and print out a marker – this is a simple shape printed onto an A4 piece of paper that the app will recognise and transfer into your selected TV
2. Place this marker where you want your TV to go, either on a flat horizontal surface or mounted on a wall, and take a photograph of it.
3. Upload the image to Sony’s online tool and it will automatically pick up the marker, working out the appropriate scale and position for your TV. Choose different size TVs which will appear on top of the marker to find the best one for you.
4. Save your images to create a gallery of choices to compare and contrast.
