New AI app lets you decorate your home before the first brush is stroked Access AI

AI startup DigitalBridge has created an app, which is designed to help people visualise how their home would look with a new lick of paint or some new furniture before making a decision they might later regret. The idea for the app came from David Levine and his wife, who wanted to redecorate the dining room in their Manchester (UK) home, but couldn't picture how any of the designs would look on their walls. The technology uses GPU-accelerated machine learning and computer vision to let people visualise how wallpaper, a coat of paint, new furniture and other home decor would look in their own rooms. "I figured I wasn't the only person who couldn't imagine what wallpaper would look like in a room," Levine said. In an independent survey conducted for DigitalBridge, about a third of shoppers said they'd delayed or cancelled decorating projects because they couldn't picture how items would look in their own homes.
