Founded in 2010, software company roOomy uses augmented reality (AR), virtual reality, and 3-D technology to change the way people visualize homes and spaces.
Enrico Rosa, vice-president of development and global operations, told CNBC, "Back then, we didn't have the benefit of AR technologies at our disposal ... So we developed a bespoke render engine that allowed us to convert a 2-D image, a standard 2-D image taken with a camera, into a 3-D space with a few simple measurements."
