Augmented reality (AR) apps let you use your phone’s camera to add fake things to the real world. This is helpful when you’re redecorating because it lets you see how furniture might look in your home without having to move it. With the touch of a button, you can also try out different wall colors, landscape plans, and even plan a remodel.
