Local development options made visible before public feedback

01 · Problem

Problem

Area residents needed to understand several possible futures for their neighbourhood before giving feedback. Flat plans were not enough for a quick, shared understanding.

02 · Approach

Approach

A printed flyer became an image-tracked AR target. Scanning it opened a scale model with three toggleable options and project information, while the same options were also available as embedded online 3D.

03 · Outcome

Outcome

Residents could compare three options from a mailed print piece and a website.
The experience linked through to official city feedback channels.
Feedback informed a fourth and final option, which flyAR also created as a 3D web version.

Worth knowing before you write a brief

AppsFlyer's 2025 benchmark across 28 billion installs puts Day-1 retention at around 25%. AR apps sit below that floor, because every reviewer is a single-use case, not a habit. WebAR removes the funnel. The link that opened the experience the first time still opens it the second.

Read what installs cost an AR campaign

Rework runs around 12% of a typical construction budget. Peer-reviewed BIM studies in 2025 report that putting an optimised 3D model in front of stakeholders before the first pour prevents at least a third of that, and as much as half on projects that share the model early. One Asian rail case caught 3,000 design clashes and shaved 12% off construction cost on its own.

Shopify's own data, drawn from millions of stores. The 65% sits next to a 94% conversion lift on stores that add any 3D content, and a 40% drop in returns when AR closes the imagination gap. The mechanism carries from product pages to construction, museums, and brand work.
