Interactive Design Room: questions buyers ask
Can the design room use a photo of the actual property?
Yes. The Interactive Design Room can be built from a panoramic photo of the room that you supply, so a real space can be shown at room scale to the client before building. Share the property details and we advise on which photos to take.
Does the design room show furniture at real size?
Yes. The Interactive Design Room projects the design at room scale, so a floor finish or large piece appears at roughly the size it would be in the finished room. Accuracy depends on the source images supplied.
How do designers change the options?
Designers switch options from the host computer in the Interactive Design Room. Prepare each layout as an image beforehand, and you can move between them during a client meeting. Preparing the options in order lets the designer walk the client through them without delays.
What lighting does a design room need?
Moderate light or less suits the Interactive Design Room. Strong ambient light fades the projection, so we recommend dimming the room during a presentation. Tell us the time of day you usually present, since daylight changes how much dimming is needed.
How are the projectors mounted and blended in the design room?
In the Interactive Design Room projectors hang overhead and their images overlap at the edges. Blending software merges the overlaps so walls and floor read as one continuous room, and we align them on site.
What file types can the design room use?
The Interactive Design Room works from panoramic photos and design images. Send what you have and we confirm the formats and sizes that give a sharp result, before any content work starts.
