Inspiration

How can one reduce their carbon footprint in furniture shopping, while social distancing, but still get a 'feel' for what furniture they are buying?

What it does

A VR living room that uses 3D models from Wayfair's website to interact with, see pricing info, as well as suggest which furniture items to consider next given current furniture selection.

How we built it

Utilized Unity's engine for creating the VR space, mid-end interfaces with javascript, utilized Jupyter Notebooks for data collection and analysis.

Challenges we ran into

Having models correctly mesh, retrieving 3D models from Wayfair, web scraping congruous data.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Making a working VR platform.

What we learned

It is best to first build with the minimum amount of features needed.

What's next for FurnitureExp.VR

Fleshing out the decision tree suggesting, importing more 3D models.
