ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Belgard®, the leader in outdoor living essentials for the patio and beyond, announces the launch of the newest feature of its Belgard Rooms Planner: augmented reality (AR).

Currently, 25 AR Rooms can be viewed on any device and launched into an outdoor space, allowing the homeowner to spin, move, scale and even walk through the templated outdoor room. This allows homeowners to explore and test a variety of Rooms, features and styles in their own outdoor spaces, streamlining the discovery and selection process for outdoor living projects with contractors. Using the latest in AR technology, Belgard Rooms glues the room plan to the ground through the device view, ensuring homeowners get an accurate representation of the space and a smooth experience.
