Augmented reality can produce some really interesting applications, and “Zazzle’s Realview” technology is one where you could preview what your wall would look like with decorations – before signing off your credit card. The technology enables you to see how well Zazzle Prints and Wrapped Canvas go on your own wall prior to a purchase decision, and you can give it a go with any Poster, Print, or Wrapped Canvas on Zazzle.

Using this technology, customers can easily snap a photo and upload it to the site, then the photo with the real-time 3D interactive rendering and see their own picture frame hanging on the wall on the way. Users can either upload a personal image or photo, but also thousands of photos from the Internet, select one, then adjust the size and frame type, etc., and these changes are immediately reflected in the Realview visualization services.

Zazzle Realview is so realistic, you might actually be fooled but for a moment into thinking that the print is already hanging right up there in your room.
