Reimagining Furniture Shopping with AR - Built Natively in Android👀

The core idea behind Unreal Furniture👀 is to transform the traditional online furniture shopping experience by allowing customers to visualize😎 how different furnitures would look in their own home spaces by leveraging Augmented Reality (AR) and 3D visualization technology🤖. It is one of the most comprehensive and feature-rich android application📱 that I have developed using Kotlin, XML Layouts, ARCore, and Firebase as a part of my final year project🎓. In addition to AR-based placement and 3D visualization, the app offers advanced features like filtering products by category, price, and availability✅, adding items to wishlist or directly to the cart, real-time order tracking notifications, detailed product reviews, and an admin dashboard for managing stock, insights📊, and delivery statuses. Unreal Furniture holds the vision of revolutionizing the way people shop for furniture🛋️, making it more interactive, personalized, and efficient bringing customers closer to their dream home furnishings💫

PS - As Unreal Furniture! being one of my early deep-dive Android Projects🌱, it may not reflect all best practices⚙️ but it has been a greate learning experience where it taught me a lot about real-world android app development✨ where every feature added and bug fixed is a learning experience😄
