Wanted to get a modular stacking bookshelf for my study room, but I was unsure if it will fit the space that it's available, how will it turned out to be or which model combination should I get. Then a thought hits me. I can quickly build an AR visualizer with 1:1 measurement based on the lesson that I had recently learned. Therefore here it is, a weekend of trial and error and finally I can have a sense of how will it realistically be, and whether it will fit the room aesthetically, which color, how many stacking and which shelf model combination should I get.

Design thinking process
Empathize

• run out of space to store books and collections
• need a way to visualize the product before I made the purchase decision confidently




Define - problem statements

• worry the shelving size does not fit with other furniture
• unsure what type of modular shelf model and combinations to get
• unsure how does it actually look in the available space
• unsure if the color will match or crash with current decoration theme
• unsure how multiple models will appear if i decide to add more storage in future




Ideate

Prototyping + test
Checking if the width, height and depth will match the current settings in the room.
Contemplating whether to get a 2 stacks or a 3 stacks.
Checking which color combinations or all full white will match better with the current theme.
I am really excited with the endless potentials and possibilities that AR/VR can be utilizing to solve some of the little challenges of everyday problems. Not only it can be apply for user to preview the purchase before they hit the buy button confidently, it will be really helpful for designers to get a sense of how this product will fit to different interior themes when they are designing it as well.
