No more guesswork. Now you can see exactly how a rug fits your space—on your phone, without any app. Works on any device and feels like magic. Rug shops using this see more sales and happier customers.
It’s Called AR With Smart Depth Guessing
This thing works using what’s already built into most phones: a camera and a depth sensor. Some phones have super advanced versions, some are just basic, but either way—it’s enough.
The camera looks at your room and gets a feel for where the floor is. The depth part means it can figure out how far away things are—like your couch or your table. It’s kind of like giving your phone a pair of eyes that can tell distance.
Then, when you tap on a rug size, it “drops” that rug into your room. It stays flat, sits right on the floor, and the corners don’t float like those old-school AR demos. It looks real.
And this works on any phone or tablet with a browser. No App needed.
Numbers That Make Rug Sellers Smile
Let’s talk real talk. Rug shops that added this kind of AR into their website saw more action:
- 27% jump in online rug sales
- Fewer returns (up to 41% less)
- More chats and questions from shoppers (people get curious)
- Visitors stayed longer on product pages (average +94 seconds)
- More sharing—customers sent it to friends or family before buying
The biggest feedback? People said it made shopping fun. Some even said they spent an hour just trying different rugs in every room of the house.
This kind of reaction means one thing: Viral share potential.
Why This Is Working So Well
Before, people had to guess what a rug would look like. Even with room photos, or 3D mockups, it still didn’t feel real.
But now? They see it, right on their floor. And not just floating there—it’s the right size, at the right angle, under their coffee table.
Here’s why shoppers trust it:
- Looks real, even with basic phone cameras
- Works in dim lighting or with shadows
- Even works if the floor isn’t totally flat (like carpet or tile)
- Doesn’t need perfect AR tracking like older systems
That last one is big. Most AR tools from a few years ago failed when the lighting was bad or the camera wobbled too much. This newer method forgives a lot more, thanks to smart depth guessing.
But Wait—It’s Not Just For Fancy Rugs
This works for any kind of floor product:
- Rugs
- Floor mats
- Carpet tiles
- Doormats
- Yoga mats
- And even kids’ play rugs
If it has size and shape, it can show up. Some brands are even testing it for outdoor rugs on patios or balconies.Again: No App.
What It Feels Like For The Shopper
Let’s break it down like a first-time user might:
- They’re on a rug website.
- They see a button that says “Try This Rug In Your Room.”
- They click. Camera opens. They point it at their floor.
- The rug appears. It’s the right size, flat, and looks good.
- They walk around it. It stays in place. No weird jumping or floating.
- They try another size. It updates instantly.
- They take a screenshot. Text it to their partner.
- Done. Confidence = higher chance of buying.
And that entire process? Takes about 10 seconds.
How It Helps Rug Shops Stand Out
Let’s be honest. Selling rugs online is tough. There are hundreds of websites, and photos can only do so much. But when a customer can see the rug in their space, they remember it.
This tech adds an instant wow factor to your product page. It turns a boring scroll into a fun, interactive moment. And guess what? People love to show off when they find cool tools.
- They send it to friends.
- They post it on Instagram.
- They tag your brand.
So not only are they buying more… they’re also doing your marketing for you.
Easy To Add. No Extra Work For Each Rug.
Here’s what a lot of rug sellers love: you don’t have to upload 3D models of every rug. You just drop in a tiny bit of code on your product page. That’s it.
The tool takes care of the sizing, angle, and positioning. You don’t need to do anything special for each new rug. It scales based on the real world and the customer’s room.
Even better? It works on:
- iPhones and Androids
- Tablets
- Laptops with cameras
- No special downloads
Again: No App needed.
Marketing Agencies: This Is Gold For You
If you're running ad campaigns, building landing pages, or doing CRO work for rug stores, this tech is a game-changer. You get:
- Longer dwell times

One Last Thing
People don’t want more apps. They want stuff that works right now, on the phone they already have, without thinking.
This AR rug size tool does that. It’s simple, fun, and weirdly addictive.
And the numbers back it up: more clicks, more shares, fewer returns, and more sales.
If you're in the rug business—or you help rug shops with marketing—this is a no-brainer.
