Korea VR & THE INUS to Provide THE INUS Package and Product Information

Design with Cobi Archi S, Automatic Material Estimates, and Connection to Sales Channels

Korea VR (CEO Jang Ho-hyun), a company specializing in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)–based virtual reality solutions, announced that it has signed a strategic memorandum of understanding with THE INUS, Korea's leading bathroom specialist company, to build a SaaS-based VR bathroom interior solution spanning design planning, estimation, and distribution.

The agreement includes building THE INUS's bathroom interior design and distribution system through 'Cobi Online,' Korea VR's interior SaaS platform. When bathroom interior work is carried out using 'Cobi Archi S,' Cobi Online's flagship VR interior design solution, the service automatically calculates the quantities of all bathroom materials and furniture used to generate an estimate, and connects to Cobi Online's sales channels to link the process all the way through to actual product ordering.

Korea VR will provide THE INUS's bathroom interior packages and product information to the more than 12,000 Cobi Online interior businesses nationwide that use Cobi Archi S, and will further carry out the actual distribution of the products. Customers can browse a wide range of THE INUS products, including exclusive package products available only on Cobi Online, and for purchased products, THE INUS handles on-site measurement, product supply, and installation directly. Additional related features are also provided to enable detailed design and consultation using 'Cobi Archi S.' The solution incorporates 4K UHD 3D VR content with real-time rendering that gives the feeling of actually walking through the site, and it provides data for all of THE INUS's bathroom products as 3D models for use in VR interior design. The completed VR interior drawings can also be produced as high-resolution images and 360-degree VR content to be shared via websites, social media, and more.

Through this partnership, the two companies expect to be able to offer even more realistic, lifelike, and high-quality bathroom design services. A Korea VR official said, "We have high expectations for being able to showcase the high-quality bathroom interior products of THE INUS, Korea's leading bathroom brand," adding, "By leveraging the nationwide interior network and SaaS platform that only Cobi Online possesses, we will intensively target the solid local neighborhood interior market that no other brand has ever been able to tackle."
