We want you to know exactly what works on your device before you rely on it.
Before you start
- Nothing to install. Everything that's available runs in your browser.
The short version
| Capability | Status |
|---|---|
| Draw and edit plans in the browser (desktop, tablet, phone) | Available |
| Import an image of an existing plan (AI or manual tracing) | Available |
| Scan a room with a phone or tablet (LiDAR / camera) | Not yet available |
| AR furniture placement on a phone | Available on ARCore Android phones (Chrome) and iPhone/iPad (Safari). See VR and AR |
| VR headset walkthroughs | Available in WebXR headset browsers such as Meta Quest Browser |
Why scanning isn't in the browser
Web browsers can't access the native depth sensors (such as LiDAR) that make room scanning accurate. Proper scanning needs a companion mobile app. That app is not available yet; when it is, scans will arrive as editable proposals you review — just like blueprint imports — with honest accuracy notes. We will never present a camera-only estimate as a survey-grade measurement.
Steps: capture an existing room today
- Measure the room with a tape or laser measure — see Measure a room by hand. A single rectangular room takes about five minutes.
- Draw it in the editor and type the measured sizes.
- If you already have a plan drawing, import it instead and trace or detect the walls.
Common problems
- I saw "Scan a room" in onboarding. It explains these options and links to the manual measuring guide; it doesn't start a scan.
