So imagine if you got a potential buyer through the door of your agency. You could sit them down, put a Head Mounted Display on their heads and they could walk-through and inspect all of your listings right there in your office. My prediction is that virtual tour technology is going to continually be implemented in many different industries and for a range of wonderful and varied applications. Within the next 5 years you’ll wonder how you ever did without a virtual tour. Google Streetview is one example of where this technology is being applied on a large scale. But imagine being able to walk around a hotel or resort before you booked your hotel room. Or take a virtual holiday to your favourite destination in the world. Take the latest BMW for a ‘virtual’ spin by hoping in the driver’s seat. Look around the grounds of your son or daughter’s school when choosing which one to send them to. See the facilities on offer at the major universities. See the operating theatre in the hospital you are going to have that major operation in before you get there, or see the birthing suite before you give birth. These are just a small number of examples of projects we’ve worked on and the types of varied applications of our products and services.

Real estate is an obvious application for virtual tour technology and just like when the internet burst on the scene back in the 90’s and a new technology which changed the lives of us all forever, those agents which embraced the technology and started using it for marketing properties shot ahead of their competition and left the others who didn’t adopt the internet struggling to catch up. Is that going to be you?

If you’re interested in using virtual tour technology in your agency then feel free to get in contact with me to find out how we can help you. As well as marketing leading virtual tour products which can all be customised with your agency’s branding and design requirements, we can also shoot high resolution digital still images, produce short YouTube style property marketing videos, and measure up and draw floor plans for both printed marketing material or used as Interactive Floor Plans with a virtual tour. We have lots of examples on our web site along with more information.
