TintSpace is an innovative iOS AR application that solves one of the most common dilemmas in home decoration: "How will this paint color actually look on my walls?"
Instead of buying expensive sample pots or relying on small color swatches, TintSpace uses augmented reality to visualize paint colors directly on your walls in real-time, with realistic lighting and textures.
- 🔍 Real-time wall detection using ARKit's advanced plane detection
- 🌈 Instant color visualization on detected walls with accurate lighting adaptation
- 🖌️ Multiple finish options (Matte, Eggshell, Satin, Semi-Gloss, Gloss)
- 📊 Side-by-side comparison of different colors on different walls
- 🧩 Intelligent color harmony suggestions based on color theory
- 💾 Save and organize favorite colors for future reference
- 📱 Share visualizations directly from the app
- 🔄 Undo/Redo support for quick color experimentation
- Swift & SwiftUI - Modern declarative UI framework
- ARKit - Apple's augmented reality framework
- RealityKit - 3D rendering and physics engine
- SceneKit - Advanced 3D visualization
- Combine - Reactive programming framework
- MVVM Architecture - Clean, maintainable code structure
TintSpace uses ARKit's vertical plane detection with custom enhancements to identify and track walls in your environment with high precision. Our algorithm can:
- Identify and categorize vertical surfaces
- Distinguish between walls and other vertical objects
- Handle partially obscured walls (e.g., furniture placement)
- Provide real-time updates as new surfaces come into view
Unlike simple color overlays, TintSpace simulates how paint actually looks on walls:
- Real-time light adaptation based on room lighting conditions
- Accurate representation of different paint finishes (from flat matte to high gloss)
- Surface texture preservation for realistic appearance
- Edge detection for clean color application
TintSpace features a sophisticated contextual guidance system:
- Real-time status notifications for AR session state
- Contextual tutorials based on user interaction
- Automatic detection of suboptimal conditions (low light, excessive movement)
- Progressive disclosure of advanced features
Our color harmony engine incorporates established color theory principles:
- Complementary color suggestions
- Analogous color palettes
- Monochromatic variations
- Split-complementary options
- Curated color collections from leading paint brands
- Point your camera at a wall - TintSpace automatically detects vertical surfaces
- Tap to select a wall - Selected walls are highlighted for clear visibility
- Choose a color - Select from curated palettes or create custom colors
- Experiment with finishes - See how different sheens affect the appearance
- Compare and share - Apply different colors to different walls and share the results
TintSpace is designed with a strong focus on user experience:
- Minimal learning curve - Intuitive gestures and clear visual feedback
- Contextual guidance - Just-in-time instructions based on what you're doing
- Performance optimization - Smooth AR experience even on older devices
- Accessibility support - Voice-over compatible with appropriate contrast ratios
- Offline functionality - No internet connection required for core features
TintSpace requires iOS 16.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone and iPad devices supporting ARKit.
