The Problem Solved: Bringing the Showroom to You
One of the biggest hurdles in buying large musical instruments like pianos is visualization. You can’t just lug a grand piano into your living room to see if it fits or matches your furniture. Roland AR addresses these challenges head-on:
- Fit: Leveraging LIDAR technology, Roland AR allows you to scan your living space and place a true-to-scale virtual model of the instrument you’re interested in. This is a game-changer for spatial planning.
- Look: What looks good in a store might not in your home. Roland AR lets you visualize different color options and finishes in the context of your own surroundings.
The feature is browser-based, sparing you from the hassle of additional app downloads. Just go to Roland’s website or any authorized dealer’s product page, and you’re good to go. With dynamic lighting and reflections, the AR experience offers an accurate representation of how the instrument will look in your personal space.
Building Connection: From Your Home to the World
But Roland AR isn’t just about functionality—it’s also about engagement. You can walk around the to-scale 3D model on your mobile device, diving into every detail as if in a physical store. And it doesn’t stop there:
- Sharing: You can share your AR experiences directly in social stories, giving friends and family a sneak peek into your potential new purchase.
- Universal Access: This feature is not exclusive to roland.com. Authorized dealers also integrate Roland AR into their listings, broadening its reach and allowing for a unified shopping experience.
