Have you ever shopped for a product online and were uncertain of its appearance, texture, or color? Or even worse, have you ever dismissed a supplier from your choices because its products were not well displayed online?
Lightbeans was founded based on the often laborious and stressful experiences of selecting finishing materials for construction and renovation projects. Think about your future countertop, wood flooring, kitchen cabinets, or siding. Buying the right materials is an important investment with permanent results or, at least, difficult to change once the products are installed.
Multiple trips to local retailers are required to examine the range of possibilities before making a selection. Even with the emergence of online shopping, the consumer still feels the need to travel around showrooms to handle products to understand their appearance, texture, and color. Once the product is selected, the challenge does not end there. Doubt persists as to the true harmony between the desired ambiance and the chosen materials until the construction is completed.
Imagine if ultra-realistic visualization technologies allowed 90% of this process to be done digitally, reliably, and faithfully. It is with this ambition that Lightbeans wishes to revolutionize the shopping experience for the surface materials industry.

We develop interactive technologies based on a high level of realism and product fidelity.
