Did you get your 2013 IKEA catalog?

I got mine today. :D

And you know what that means, right?  Interactive fun with their mobile app!

Okay, so that you know, the tablet app is not the same as the phone app, or at least it recognizes that the Nexus 7 doesn't have a rear camera, so it doesn't include the special scanning tool.  If you want all that interactivity, it has to be done with your phone.

Use the scan function at this screen, not within the catalog.


It's very cool.  There are videos, additional images of alternative ideas, and 3D animations.  Everything BUT the 3D animations are available on the tablet version without a rear camera to scan.

Viewing 3D animations via IKEA's mobile app.
Some really great 3D animations.


It's a lot of fun, but the scanner does not quite work in low light, especially with shadows. Way cool!
