Augmented Reality
AR Furniture App
AR Furniture App is built on a modern augmented reality technology stack that delivers realism, accuracy, and cross-platform performance. Unity serves as the core development engine, enabling high-quality 3D rendering, smooth interactions, and efficient deployment across both iOS and Android. The app uses ARKit on iOS and ARCore on Android to handle real-world tracking, surface detection, and spatial mapping, allowing virtual furniture to be placed accurately on floors, tables, and other surfaces. These frameworks support plane detection, light estimation, and environment understanding, ensuring that furniture models remain stable and properly scaled as users move around their space.

The Challenges
Performance Constraints
Maintaining visual quality while keeping CPU/GPU thermal impact minimal across multiple target configurations.
Cross-platform Sync
Ensuring inputs, UI rendering, and user save games sync instantaneously across different OS platforms.
Our Technical Solutions
architecture
We built a clean decoupled architecture based on the Model-View-Controller pattern, ensuring game logic is isolated from UI and rendering code.
gameplay
Engineered responsive input managers and a custom asset loading pipeline that keeps startup loading times under 3 seconds.
backend
Integrated cloud services using Supabase and PlayFab to handle user profiles, secure purchases, and dynamic content feeds.
optimization
Applied custom asset compression, vertex lighting shaders, and object pooling to keep CPU/GPU cycle usage minimal.
networking
Utilized asynchronous API calls and background sockets to ensure network lag does not freeze the gameplay flow.
art Pipeline
Created highly optimized 3D/2D visual assets designed to keep system memory usage minimal without losing premium style.
testing
Conducted automated sanity test scripts on local cloud device farms to check rendering consistency.
publishing
Assisted in store listings, rating setups, compliance reviews, and final global publishing passes.
