Think of Muzli 2 as starter fuel for a designer’s brain. Its name may evoke visions of breakfast food, but bear with us when we say that comparison isn’t super far off. Its beauty is in its simplicity, which has been praised by the likes of Wired. The app doesn’t do anything more than this, but it doesn’t need to.

This story originally appeared on WIRED UK. “A few things already in the pipeline is the wall-painting feature and a wall-storage feature, which uses a machine learning algorithm to look at the space recommend the best combination of storage items that would fit.” “What’s broken? What would they like to see that we haven’t considered yet?” says Campbell. That’s 10 percentage points in one summer-or three to five years’ growth in just two quarters.įor now though IKEA wants to hear how Studio is working for people in their homes. It reached a high during the pandemic of 60 percent and then leveled off around 45 percent. UK ecommerce excluding groceries at the start of 2020 was already at 30 percent.
“Could that be the next platform? Instead of developing an iOS or Android app, can we have a web experience for Studio that would work for everyone?”Īdding in that shopping ability will be crucial, however. “Chrome and Safari and Mozilla are all playing around with web AR experiences,” says Campbell. SPACE10 and IKEA are also considering integrating the 3D measuring tool into the IKEA website and taking other AR elements online. Similarly, if you are looking at a sofa, IKEA knows the measurements of that sofa, but if you open up the measuring tool within Studio you have to manually input those same measurements to see if it will fit in your space. You have to open up Studio and start from scratch. So if you are buying a rug, say, in the IKEA app, and want to check how it will look in your room, you can’t do this easily. We’ve also used a new renderer reality kit from Apple that lets us achieve a level of detail on these models that hasn’t been seen before in IKEA’s AR portfolio.”įrustratingly, however, the app is once again not connected to the IKEA website or retail app. “So we’ve made very deliberate decisions to paint the vision of Studio as one that can exist on both the smartphone or in a glasses-like setting. “While we have developed what is right now a mobile application, we’ve also been interested in what devices like glasses might be able to do for this technology,” he says. Tommy Campbell, digital design lead at SPACE10, says this is all prep for the arrival of Apple Glass. Other new features include being able to interact with items, such as turn AR lamps on and off, and place items on top of each other, say a lamp on a sideboard for example.ĪR fans can sign up for the beta here, and those eligible will get an email from TestFlight as slots become available. The models can also include ceilings so you can add in virtual suspended light fittings. From there you can place furniture, shelving systems, decorations and change wall colors, then export your design in both 3D and 2D and send it to others for approval or ridicule.
