Shopping for a new hot tub is an exciting experience, but it also comes with a lot of decisions. From size and seating layout to jet configuration and color options, it’s not always easy to picture how your spa will look in your space—until now!
With the Hot Springs Spa Virtual View™ AR app, you can virtually see how different hot tub models look in your space using your smartphone or tablet. Read on to learn more about this incredible virtual hot tub shopping app!
What is a Virtual Hot Tub Shopping App?
With so many models, sizes, and design options to choose from, it can be tricky to imagine which spa will fit your home and lifestyle best. Now, there’s no need to imagine it—you can see exactly how your spa will look in your space without needing to leave your backyard.
The Virtual View™ AR app is designed to take the guesswork out of shopping by bringing Hot Spring® spas directly to you—virtually. Powered by augmented reality (AR), the Virtual View™ AR app allows you to see the exact dimensions, design, and style of a hot tub right in front of you.
What Is Augmented Reality?
Augmented reality, often called AR, is a type of technology that blends digital images with the real world around you. With just your smartphone or tablet camera, you can place a 3D model of a hot tub anywhere you want and view it as if it were really there.
The app “anchors” the spa in place, so when you walk around with your camera, the hot tub stays put and looks life-sized. This makes it easy to see how different models, shapes, and colors will look in your actual space before making a purchase.

See How a Hot Tub Looks in Your Space
One of the trickiest parts of shopping for a hot tub is imagining how it will actually look in your home. With the Virtual View™ app, you can virtually drop a 3D model of the hot tub into your space that is true scale. You can even walk around the spa to view it from different angles and take a look inside using your camera.
This eliminates the guesswork and gives you confidence in knowing which size and style best fit your needs and home.
Explore Different Models and Color Options
Hot Springs offers many different hot tub models for every lifestyle and budget. Whether you’re drawn to the Highlife, Limelight, or Hot Spot collection, the Virtual View™ app lets you explore all your choices in the context of your space.
With a variety of different color options and customization to choose from, you can mix and match shell and cabinet combinations in real time.
Save Your Favs to Show Family and Friends
Sometimes a hot tub is a family purchase, and the Virtual View™ app makes it easy to involve everyone in the decision. With just a tap, you can save favorite options to your profile to create a shortlist of models you love most.
This allows you to show others how the spa will look in your space and get their opinion on different colors, styles, and sizes. Even if you’re simply excited to show a friend all the plans you have for your outdoor space, this app is a great way to get your ideas across.
Enjoy Easy-to-Use Features
