VirtualPools brings pool designs to life with stunning 3D visuals and immersive AR. For the best experience, VirtualPools currently supports only high‑end iPad and Android devices that meet the required performance and technical specifications.
For the best experience, we recommend using modern tablets equipped with powerful processors and sufficient RAM. Devices with up-to-date operating systems and strong graphics performance will ensure smoother navigation, faster loading times, and optimal rendering of 3D content. Choosing a recent model will help you take full advantage of all features without performance limitations.
AR performance depends heavily on processor and RAM.
Larger screens (11”–13”) provide a more comfortable presentation experience.
Performance may vary depending on external factors like background apps, device age, loaded product collection, etc.
For professional client demonstrations, devices in the “Excellent” tier are strongly recommended.
