Why Businesses Are Investing in AR

Businesses put AR on phones, tablets, and glasses for a few jobs: virtual try-on at checkout, furniture and product placement in a real room, assembly overlays on the factory floor, and WebAR campaigns that open from a QR code with no app download. Those are the products we ship — not a generic "innovation layer."

OUR FUNCTIONS
Our developers work closely with your business to design solutions that go far beyond flashy visuals. We craft AR solutions that solve real-world problems, improve how customers interact with your brand, and create measurable business impact specific to your industry.

AR App Features We Build
for Your Business

Overview diagram of AR app functions we can build

SCENE DETECTION

Our team designs apps that instantly read and understand the physical environment through the camera, mapping surfaces, walls, and objects so every virtual element lands exactly where it belongs in the real world.

IMAGE & OBJECT RECOGNITION

Beyond reading environments, our apps are trained to identify both flat images and real-world objects through the camera, instantly layering relevant information, 3D models, or interactive content directly on screens.

MOTION TRACKING

Built into every iOS and Android phone and tablet, GPS, gyroscope, and accelerometer data is what we rely on. Our experts precisely calibrate and dynamically adjust every augmentation on screen as users and their devices move through any environment.

LIGHT ESTIMATION

Our apps continuously analyze the light conditions of the environment, automatically adjusting the brightness, shadows, and reflections of virtual objects so they blend naturally into any scene, whether indoors or outdoors.
AR VS VR

AR and VR Are Not the Same — Here Is What Sets Them Apart

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) both redefine human interaction with technology, but solve very different business problems.Below is a simple comparison table that shows exactly where each stands.

AR EXPERTISE

Augmented Reality Solutions We Specialize In

01

Marker-Based AR

Our team builds marker-based AR experiences where the camera detects a specific image or QR code and brings relevant digital content to life, making it a perfect fit for product packaging, marketing campaigns, and retail activations.

02

Markerless AR

Unlike marker-based experiences, our markerless AR work relies on GPS, accelerometer, and computer vision to place digital objects anywhere without physical triggers needed, making it ideal for location-based applications.

ARCoreGPSLocation
03

Projection AR

Our team builds projection AR that casts interactive digital content directly onto real-world surfaces, allowing users to interact with projected visuals through touch or motion, no screen or headset required.

Real Estate

Real estate buyers rarely commit without seeing a space in person. AR changes that by helping buyers virtually walk through properties, visualize interior designs, and experience floor plans in full scale before making any decisions.
Manufacturing AR industry illustration

OUR EXPERTISE

How We Maintain Quality in Every AR App We Deliver

Object recognition, occlusion, and content development are the hardest problems in any AR project. Our developers tackle each one with precision, ensuring every app we deliver is visually sharp, technically stable, and built to scale.

Content Implementation
AR content implementation with 3D models on a mobile device
Whether the goal is 3D model-based AR or text overlay experiences, our designers build detailed models from photos, illustrations, or rough sketches. On the other hand, our UI/UX team plans every data layout to display across any mobile device or screen size.
Regular Updates and Maintenance
AR app content updates and maintenance on a tablet
App metadata, 3D model databases, and image libraries for auto-recognition naturally grow and shift over time. Keeping that content current is what separates a working AR app from a failing one. Every update cycle runs with the same precision as the original build.
Scene Understanding and Occlusion
AR scene understanding and realistic occlusion in a real space
Scene recognition and depth perception algorithms are fine-tuned to identify objects and surfaces across varying lighting and environments. Realistic occlusion is applied so every 3D model sits naturally within the scene, and post-launch data sharpens both recognition and placement over time.
OUR PROCESS

Our Development Process

Building an AR app without a clear process wastes both time and budget. Every project runs through a defined workflow that keeps quality tight, timelines predictable, and final delivery exactly on target.

Concept Design

Our process starts with concept design, where we set project goals, user flows, and technical requirements before writing a single line of code.

Creating 3D Content

Our team builds detailed models from photos, sketches, or references, ensuring every object is optimized, performance-ready, and fits naturally within the AR environment for a lifelike experience.

Back-end and Front-end Development

At TechReforms, our developers handle both back-end logic and front-end interfaces, building a solid foundation that keeps the app fast, stable, and ready to scale.

AR Integration

We integrate AR functions into existing platforms, whether a training system, e-commerce storefront, or enterprise app, without disrupting what already works for your team.
WHY US

Why Should You Choose Techreforms For AR?

On-Device Tracking First

We build on ARKit, ARCore, and Vuforia so try-on, placement, and assembly overlays stay locked to the real scene. The stack is chosen for the device and the job — not to pad a slide.

Content You Can Update After Launch

3D models, markers, and scene content sit in a workflow you can refresh after go-live. New SKUs or training steps do not mean rebuilding the app from scratch.

50+ AR Apps Across Industries

We have launched 50+ AR apps for retail try-on, factory training, real estate walkthroughs, and healthcare visualization — the same verticals covered on this page.

OUR TESTIMONIALS

Our Work
Speaks For Us

Sophie Laurent

CEO — VisionWear Co.

TechReforms built our AR try-on app for our eyewear brand in 14 weeks. ARKit face tracking was accurate — customers could see exactly how glasses looked on their face. Our online conversion rate increased 38% in the first month.

Mark Reynolds

Operations Director — FactoryEdge Inc.

We needed an AR training app for our manufacturing floor on HoloLens 2. TechReforms delivered a step-by-step assembly guidance system using Vuforia. Training time reduced by 60% and error rate dropped significantly.

James Kim

Founder — UrbanNest Properties

Our real estate app needed AR walkthroughs so buyers could visualize furnished rooms before purchase. TechReforms used ARCore with 3D furniture models — buyers could place sofas and beds in empty apartments. Sold 3 units directly through the app.

Priya Rao

Marketing Director — LaunchBrand

WebAR campaign for our product launch — no app download, just scan a code and see the product in your space. TechReforms used 8th Wall and delivered in 6 weeks. 200K users engaged in the first 2 weeks.
