Have real estate companies considered leaving a house unfurnished and letting potential buyers put on AR goggles to see what it would look like with their furniture?

Or could just use a phone/tablet as a "viewport". I know it wouldn't be as immersive but the barrier to have it adopted would be a lot lower.

This level of realism seems impossible in AR as of today, if path tracing a single frame takes a minute or more.

You could potentially get much faster generations (on the order of seconds) while sacrificing realism by switching away from path tracing.

How would that be different from existing solutions, like ARKit?
