AkzoNobel’s Visualizer decorating app has been downloaded more than 20 million times. The award-winning digital color tool was first launched in 2014 and is now available in more than 60 markets. It allows consumers to visualize walls in different shades in real time, before applying a single drop of paint. To celebrate the latest milestone, special events have been organized in two of Europe’s most vibrant cities – London and Amsterdam. Members of the public are being given the opportunity to virtually paint museums at London’s Trafalgar Square and Amsterdam’s Museumplein by using the Visualizer. “We’re delighted that the Visualizer is proving so popular and has established itself as a leading digital tool for color,” said Corinne Avelines, AkzoNobel’s director of digital and e-Commerce. “Finding the right color can be a stressful experience, which is why 21 percent of those who start the paint journey drop out before purchase. The Visualizer is designed to take away the worry of choosing color and make decorating fun again.” The patent-pending computer vision technology behind the app enables users to apply realistic virtual paint to their walls without affecting picture frames and other furniture. It paints around them as you move your smartphone or tablet around the room. “Some consumers struggle to visualize what a color will look like in their homes,” Avelines said. “Thanks to our unrivalled color matching expertise, the Visualizer gives consumers the confidence to try new colors, quickly see the potential end result and share it with friends to get their views.” The success of the app has so far seen it generate more than 400 million visualizations for consumers all over the world. The special outdoor events are being held on June 22, 2018. The events will give people in Meridian Steps in Westfield Stratford the chance to virtually paint a building at Amsterdam’s Museumplein, while visitors to the Zuidas area of the Dutch capital will be able to add their own digital design to Trafalgar Square in London by using augmented reality technology. The results will be displayed on big screens set up at each location. To download the Visualizer, visit the iOS App Store or Google Play and search for Visualizer along with the name of your local AkzoNobel paint brand, such as Dulux Visualizer, Flexa Visualizer, Dulux Valentine Visualizer or Alba Visualizer.
