## User Challenges

Many smart home apps are fragmented, requiring separate logins, navigation, and switching between platforms. Users face inefficiency when trying to control lighting, temperature, and appliances in real time.

## Key Pain points

### Fragmented Control Systems

Users need different apps for lighting, climate, and devices, making the process time-consuming.

### High Learning Curve

New users struggle with technical interfaces that aren’t optimized for accessibility.

## Valuable Insights

In the RoomVision - Smart Home Camera Scan Mobile App example, user interviews showed frustration with app-switching and lack of AR support. Analytics confirmed demand for a central hub that reduces complexity and makes control visual.

## Major Findings

### 61% Prefer AR room scanning

Users reported AR scanning reduced confusion and made device location more intuitive.

### 49% Drop during setup

Half of the surveyed users abandoned smart apps during installation due to complex onboarding.

## Our Solutions

We designed a mobile app that uses camera scanning to detect devices and overlay AR controls. The design provides one-tap access to lighting, climate, and appliances. Clear UI, visual mapping, and unified flows reduce time loss and app fatigue.

## Our Approach

### AR Device Recognition

The app uses real-time camera scanning to identify smart devices in the room and overlay control options directly in AR view.

### Contextual Controls

Users can access lighting, temperature, or appliance options right where the device appears, without navigating multiple menus.

### Minimalist Visual Layer

We kept UI elements lightweight and unobtrusive, ensuring AR interactions remain clear and intuitive.

> We focused on creating AR flows that feel natural, so users interact with their home visually rather than through endless menus.
