Bringing Designs To Life

Intro AR

Benjamin Franklin once said, “ An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” HPC Fire Inspired values the development of using their experience and knowledge to advance technology that enhances the customer experience.

Augmented Reality (AR)Technology has truly revolutionized the consumer experience. HPC knew that AR could elevate customer engagement but the number of increased downloads has surpassed predictions. AR technology is becoming a part of everyday life. This technology allows our dealers to engage with customers virtually when in-person interaction is not an option. It truly removes barriers such as distance and time of travel while providing financial cost savings.

Now is the time to invest in Augmented Reality. This Tech Talk is dedicated to the development of the HPC Fire Inspired Augmented Reality App as well as the benefits to HPC dealers and our customers.

Benefits of AR

HPC continues to be a leader in the fire industry. The HPC Fire Inspired AR App allows consumers to select various design options. Next, the consumer scans the installation area enabling the HPC design to be placed in the selected space. The AR App is easily operated and allows the designs to be manipulated making changes to aesthetics and specs. In addition, changing the orientation of the appliance is an added feature allowing visuals of the HPC design from every angle.

Creates a Unique Experience

HPC’s AR App engages our consumers with an interactive design experience. The App allows designs to become reality creating a visual for our consumers to thoughtfully plan out their concept. With the use of the App, consumers have the ability to choose their desired fire feature. HPC offers the copper bowl collection, as well as DIY Fire pits or ready to finish, RTF Small Tank Series, the Evolution 360 as well as the H2O on Fire and TK Torch Kits. Start the design process by selecting the fire feature, next identify the bowl type, ignition style, power options and gas type. Consumers also have the luxury of exploring the vast variety of media selections. HPC offers lava rock , rolled lava rock, river rock, to our ten colors of fire glass as well as 3 finishes of refractory logs. In addition to the fire appliances, HPC displays its’ Forno pizza oven, Villa, and Di Napoli series. To complete a finished look HPC has included additional accessories, from covers, to access doors and vents.
