Unlike virtual reality, which immerses users in a fully digital environment, augmented reality blends the digital with the physical world. At Avant Design Studio, our AR experiences place 3D models directly into real spaces, allowing clients to see how a new addition fits into an existing property, or how furniture and finishes look inside an unfinished room. Where VR requires a headset and takes you out of your surroundings, AR works through a tablet or phone and keeps you connected to the environment around you.

This distinction makes AR especially powerful for on-site presentations and design reviews. Clients can walk around a space, reposition elements, and view them from different angles while still grounded in reality. VR offers full immersion and control over a digital world, while AR offers immediate context and scale in the real one. Together, they provide complementary tools: VR to explore imagined spaces in depth and AR to visualize how those ideas integrate with the present.
