This is an awesome start, but ultimately of limited usefulness to me. When I was recently shopping for a new refrigerator I really wanted one of these new fancy fridges with the larger area for produce. The problem was there was only 1 that would fit my oddly shaped space, and i wasn't sure if the dimensions listed included the hinge for the door or not (i had a cabinet above the fridge), and it was going to be tight.

What I really wished I could do at the time was take out my phone, take a picture of my space, give a few measurements for reference, and have you render the new fridge in the space.

That's a very common problem, which we encounter both in-store and online. Solving it will be key to providing the best possible customer experience; stay tuned.
