Tiles Preview Using
Augmented Reality

Visualize tiles in real time using AR to make confident purchase decisions.

The Challenge

Visualizing Tiles Before Purchase

Customers found it difficult to imagine how tiles would look in their own homes by only viewing catalogs, images, or physical samples.

Incorrect tile selection often resulted in product returns, customer dissatisfaction, and wasted time for both buyers and sales teams.

The lack of real-time visualization slowed down the decision-making process and negatively impacted the overall buying experience.

The business needed a solution that could allow customers to preview tiles instantly in their own space and make faster, more confident decisions.

About the Project

We partnered with a tile manufacturing and retail company to build an AI-powered Augmented Reality (AR) mobile application that allows users to preview tiles in real time within their own environment.

The goal was to reduce incorrect purchases, improve customer confidence, and accelerate the tile selection process. The solution uses computer vision and AR technologies to accurately overlay tile designs onto floors and walls.

The Technologies
We Leveraged

Bridging the gap between manual banking processes and intelligent automation.

Considering the client request, we decided to promote a Proof-of-Concept for Intellectual Document Processing solution. The solution itself is based on the principle of intelligent document analysis, which is further connected with automated data processing.

Before we get to the detailed presentation of the solution we presented, let’s explore the two core principles that drive this architecture.

What Is Tiles Preview Using Augmented Reality?

Tiles Preview Using Augmented Reality is an AI-powered visualization approach that allows customers to see how tiles will look in their real environment before purchasing.

Instead of relying on imagination or static images, users can preview tile designs directly on their floors or walls using their mobile devices—enabling faster decisions, reducing purchase errors, and improving customer satisfaction.

Augmented Reality Computer Vision AI Visualization

Real-Time Tile Visualization

Previewing tile designs directly within real-world spaces using AR.

For customers and sales teams, AR tile preview enables real-time visualization of tile designs, colors, and patterns while accurately reflecting room dimensions, layout, lighting, and surface reflections.

The system transforms real-world spaces into interactive digital previews, helping users make accurate and confident tile selections before finalizing a purchase.

The core of this system is computer vision and AR-based surface detection. The AI analyzes camera input to identify floors and walls, understands room geometry, and aligns tiles realistically—even under varying lighting conditions.

Once applied, users can instantly switch between tile designs, patterns, and colors to compare multiple options in real time and visualize before-and-after results effortlessly.

What Is Automated AR Tile Processing?

AI-powered AR tile preview goes beyond simple visualization by automatically handling surface detection, tile scaling, and pattern alignment.

Using Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision , the system accurately calculates tile coverage area, maintains realistic proportions, and adapts designs to complex room layouts in real time.

This ensures highly accurate previews, minimizes material estimation errors, and significantly reduces mistakes during tile selection and installation planning.

Our Solution

After understanding the challenges faced by customers and sales teams, we delivered an AI-powered AR tile preview mobile application that enhances the tile buying experience through immersive real-time visualization.

★ Built on proven expertise in AI, computer vision, and immersive technologies.

01

Real-Time AR Tile Visualization

Traditionally, customers relied on imagination or physical samples to select tiles, often resulting in incorrect choices. Our AR solution removes this guesswork.

Users can scan their space and instantly preview tiles on floors or walls with realistic textures, lighting, and reflections—turning the buying journey into an interactive digital showroom.

02

AI-Powered Tile Alignment & Scaling

Manual estimation of tile placement and coverage is often inaccurate and time-consuming. Our system uses computer vision and AI to detect room dimensions automatically.

Tiles are aligned precisely, patterns are scaled realistically, and layouts adapt seamlessly to complex room geometries—ensuring accurate visualization and fitting.

03

Intelligent Tile Recommendations

With hundreds of tile designs available, decision-making can become overwhelming for customers.

The AI analyzes room type, lighting conditions, and user preferences to recommend the most suitable tile designs—helping users make faster, smarter, and more confident choices.

Key Outcomes

AI-Driven Tile Visualization with Faster Purchase Decisions

The AI-powered AR tile preview solution enabled customers to visualize tiles in real time within their own spaces, significantly reducing guesswork and incorrect selections. By leveraging computer vision, augmented reality, and intelligent recommendations , customers could confidently preview tiles before purchase.

This immersive experience minimized reliance on physical samples and manual consultations, transforming traditional tile selection into a seamless interactive digital showroom while accelerating buying decisions.
