Abstract
Apparatuses and methods are provided for augmented reality-assisted assessment of three-dimensional (3D) fit of physical objects within a physical environment in different positions. According to an embodiment, an augmented reality (AR) device obtains 3D dimensions of a virtual object representative of a real-world physical object and displays a 3D representation of the virtual object in an AR space depicted by a user interface of the AR device that is representative of a real-world physical environment in a field of view of the AR device. The 3D representation of the virtual object is proportionally dimensioned relative to the physical environment based on the obtained 3D dimensions of the virtual object and the virtual object is repositionable in the AR space responsive to input received by the AR device to allow assessment of 3D fit of the virtual object within the physical environment in different positions.
