The short version

Choose Roomvo if you sell flooring, tile or other hard surfaces through showrooms or a dealer network and want an established visualizer with in-store kiosks and manufacturer catalogues already connected. Choose Imersian if you run a Shopify store selling rugs, furniture, wall art, wallpaper or flooring and want shoppers to furnish their own room at true scale, move, rotate and swap products in one scene, and arrive there from an AI Shopping Assistant that reads the same photo.

  1. Roomvo is a materials and surface visualizer. Its site lists flooring, tile, paint, wallpaper, rugs, countertops, exteriors, furnishings and wall décor.
  2. Roomvo's strength is reach: a large retailer network, showroom kiosks and a partner program that puts manufacturer catalogues on dealer sites.
  3. Imersian reads the room's geometry once from one photo, so products sit at true scale, in front of or behind what is already in the room.
  4. Imersian is priced on room uploads, not on each product a shopper tries. Roomvo's paid pricing is quoted on request.
  5. Imersian is a native Shopify app, live in less than 48 hours, with no 3D models needed for rugs, wall art, wallpaper, tiles or flooring.

How the room is understood
RoomvoDetects the photo's surfaces, lighting and shadows, then applies the product. Shopper uploads a photo or picks a sample room.
ImersianReads the room's geometry once from one photo of the shopper's room, or the shopper picks a room template. Products then place, move and rotate without re-reading the room.
Is the shown product the real product image or regenerated
RoomvoRoomvo says it superimposes the product onto the detected surface. It is not described as regenerating the product.
ImersianThe real product. Rugs, wall art, wallpaper, tiles and flooring are placed from your own product images; furniture and décor from a 3D model of the product. Nothing is redrawn by an image model.
True-to-scale placement

How Imersian approaches the problem

1 photo

Room reconstruction from a single photo

Shoppers upload one photo of their room. Spatial AI reads the floor, walls, scale and light, then places products at true 1:1 size in that room, not a template scene. No app, no LiDAR.

Whole room

Multi-product styling, add all to cart

Rugs, furniture, wallpaper and decor can be placed together in one session, with a rug sitting correctly under an existing sofa. The shopper adds the whole look to cart in one step.

Photos in

3D models generated from product photography

The AI 3D Creator turns the product photos a retailer already has into 3D models, so a large catalog can go live without commissioning 3D production first.
