Magicplan is a mobile application developed by Sensopia Inc.[1] The app enables users to create 2D and 3D floor plans in real time by using the camera of a smartphone or tablet along side augmented reality (AR) technology.[2] Magicplan is currently available for iOS[3] and Android devices and has been used by professionals in various industries, such as architecture, real estate, and home improvement.[4]

History

Magicplan was founded and developed in 2011 by Sensopia Inc in Montreal, Canada. In 2016, Sensopia merged with B&O,[5] a German company conglomerate in the housing sector. Since then, Magicplan holds offices in Montreal and Munich.[6] The first version of Magicplan was launched in 2011 for iOS devices, and the Android version followed in 2013.[7] The app gained widespread recognition and was included in Apple's 2017 Best Apps of the Year list.[8]

The app includes various features, including:

  • 2D and 3D floor plan generation[14]
  • Automatic room and objects detection and measurement[15]
  • Object library with customizable items
