Placy AR

The application enables users to create a three‑dimensional representation of any physical object from a single photograph and then view that model in augmented reality within their own environment. By uploading an image of a furniture item, plant, light fixture, motorbike, or similar item, the system generates a 3D asset that can be positioned, scaled, and inspected through an AR interface on a mobile device.

A personal library stores generated models, allowing access across multiple devices after authentication. Users can adjust exact dimensions and export the assets in standard formats such as USDZ or GLB for sharing or further use. The tool emphasizes that the objects are real‑world items, supporting virtual fitting that reflects actual physical properties.

The project is positioned as an experimental utility, with example deployments for cultural‑heritage experiences at venues like the Vasa Museum and the British Museum, illustrating how AR overlays can add depth to visitor interactions.
