Great News: to all my customers, collectors, artist or viewers...
there is a new feature on my website called "Augmented Reality Live" this new feature allow you to see the art on the walls and it will work by using your mobile device. I will explain this better.
If you are viewing a mola as soon as you click on the mola look at the bottom left corner for small icon that reads "Live Preview" when you hit that button, you can move your device around your room, then get an exact preview of the artwork in your home. Also the prints "Live Preview" will show mats and frames where those have been choosen!
Buyers can choose larger or smaller sizes of prints to preview. Once you are able to see the picture of the artwork against your walls and home, there is another button "save and share" it means that you can save the Augmented Reality Live to your phone, and shared with others via e-mail or social media (facebook, Twitter, etc.).
"Augmented Reality Live" make it really easy, so you can preview the art safely in your home.
How this will help our customers:
Buying art means something that you will truly enjoy, love and treasure for the years to come. You are inviting something beautiful into your home. Sometimes it is not easy to look online
