Cool project!

I have a pretty extensive niche art collection at home, and this sort of thing would be really useful. If I could suggest one important addition...

It would be great if you could set a surrounding frame and matting. You could maybe offer a few different frame styles/colours, and let users access a colour picker to select the shade for the matting. Then you could project a "framed" piece of art on the wall with AR.

This would make it really easy to see how a new piece would look in context, alongside other artwork which has been professionally framed. It would save a lot of uncertainty before a visit to the framing shop :)

Agreed I think that would be a great addition to be able to select and customize different frames, I could see how it'd be valuable to see it framed next to other framed artwork already on the wall. It was a feature I decided to leave off for the initial launch for simplicity, but will prioritize adding it into a future release. Appreciate the suggestion! :)

Thanks!

Also, just curious… How does developing for ARKit work? Does the Xcode Simulator have “virtual rooms” to test your code in, or do you have to compile and run from a real device each time?

[hitmyapi]

Unfortunately the app won't even compile on the simulator, it seems like some of the AR libraries aren't actually available when building for the simulator. I have to test on real device each time for the time being. That would be super cool if there were virtual rooms to test AR code in, I feel it could expedite some of the development time haha

Pro mode to allow anything other than 2-3 basic frame styles. “See your photo on the wall for free… match it to a frame size, color, mat size, color for $9.99”

Art costs at least $50 for something framed, so $10 for an app that can be re-used is great.

For true pros, I can’t think of what would be something that was subscription-valuablenorher than maybe $10/yr, which would be mostly fine for homeowners who have just moved, and would help have a sustaining income for “true pros” who would want to use it continuously.
