Occlusion (in 3D)
In Augmented Reality, occlusion is the ability of digital 3D objects to be realistically hidden or obscured by real-world physical objects in the user's environment.
For example, if a virtual rug is placed on the floor using our rug visualizer, proper occlusion ensures that the legs of an existing physical coffee table appear in front of the rug, rather than the rug awkwardly floating on top of the table legs. This is crucial for maintaining immersion and realism in spatial commerce applications.
