Our client set out to simplify the floor plan creation process by leveraging modern technology, envisioning a feature where users could generate accurate, scaled floor plans by merely filming a room with their mobile phones. However, this ambitious goal presented several challenges.
- Technical and Accuracy Challenges: Mobile devices differ widely in camera quality, sensor capabilities, and processing power, which presents significant challenges in consistently capturing precise architectural details. These variations make it difficult to ensure accurate measurements of critical elements like dimensions and spatial relationships. Since floor plans rely on precise data, even minor inconsistencies in capturing these details can lead to significant inaccuracies, making it unsuitable for professional use.
- Environmental and Usability Challenges: Factors such as inconsistent lighting, varying room shapes, and physical obstacles further complicate the task of accurately scanning and mapping spaces. Additionally, the solution must strike a balance between sophisticated functionality and ease of use. Designing a system that handles the complexities of architectural scanning while remaining accessible to non-expert users adds an extra layer of difficulty in achieving reliable and accurate results for everyday use.
