Online home furnishings company Wayfair ( W) has a similar AR app that lets you see furniture in your home in 3D. Since that time, the company said, 50% of Houzz app shoppers used the preview-a-product feature and they ultimately spent three times longer on the app. Houzz launched a similar but two-dimensional feature last year.
