How to use Aura /

Before you begin

Begin with the brand experience, then follow its primary action into the interactive studio or private workspace.

Create an account in Aura and work in its own private workspace. Accounts and records from another Lumia product are separate. Interior designers, small studios and clients preparing a first spatial brief. Aura suits an early conversation about rooms, dimensions, atmosphere and requirements, especially when reference ownership and a clear record of the submitted version matter.

Follow the workflow below to understand the application. Contact Lumia for a guided walkthrough; account access is private. An exported file reflects the record at the time of export.

Build a credited reference library

Add a project with its description, materials, owned image files and explicit credits. The demonstrated starter imports Lumia's original fictional courtyard study through the interface. Review the credit before collecting the reference; an attractive image does not by itself establish a real client, completed building or permission to reuse it.

Describe each room

Create a room with its name, width and length in millimetres, then write concrete requirements. A requirement such as a clear entrance path and a shaded reading position tells the designer more than a broad style label. Attach the project references that explain the intended atmosphere or material direction for that room.

Inspect the spatial representation

Use the room cutaway, zoom controls and material choices to explore the brief visually. The scene responds to the room context and supports comparison of finishes. Treat it as an illustrative view of the entered rectangle, then verify the numeric dimensions and requirements before saving.

Save, submit and reopen the brief

Name and save the brief, check its room areas and export the PDF. Submit the saved version when it represents the intended request. The saved library lets you reopen it after a reload. Editing a submitted brief returns it to draft so the changed content is not silently presented as the earlier submission.

Operating the product

Confirm dimensions against a real measurement before using the brief in a commission. Millimetres are the input unit; check that a value intended as metres has not been entered without conversion. Review each room's computed area as a useful error signal.

Preserve descriptive reference credits and explain what each image contributes. If an image is a fictional study or generated asset, retain that context when exporting or sharing the brief instead of allowing the visual alone to imply built work.

Wait for saved state before exporting or submitting. The interface now adopts the server's returned rooms and title after a save. If a version conflict occurs, reopen the current saved brief and compare it with the intended changes before trying again.

After editing a submitted brief, review and submit the new draft deliberately. Keep the earlier PDF when a record of the prior discussion is useful; a newly edited screen should not be substituted for evidence of an earlier agreement.

Use export as a portable briefing record, then establish a separate handover channel with the receiving studio. A local submission status confirms persistence in this application, not that another person has received or accepted the request.
