Virtual Reality For Your Real Estate

Until recently, CGI renderings were the most effective real estate marketing technique. However realistic, such 3D architecture visualizations have their limits because they are still just images on paper or a screen. Virtual reality, on the other hand, transports the viewer into another world and you can stand out against your competitors by providing your clients with a deeply impressive experience.

We create a VR experience of your real estate property that goes beyond the limits of 3D renderings. Let your clients immerse themselves into virtual worlds and offer them a true-to-life journey through their future property.

What is Virtual Reality?

Virtual reality is an artificial reality created in the digital universe using special hardware and software. The technology has been increasingly used in a variety of fields. A study conducted by Statista even forecasts that the global VR market will increase from less than 12 billion U.S. dollars in 2022 to more than 22 billion U.S. dollars by 2025. But how does it actually work? As soon as they put on the virtual reality glasses, your clients dive into a virtual space and by that, into your digital property shaped by us. Designers can simulate almost anything using VR: In real estate, the technology is being adopted to create true-to-scale models of properties; these models do not take up any space and can be created in a fraction of the time as a physical model.

Unlike a 3D render, a VR tour does not have to be static. Programming different blueprints allows us to modify, for instance, colors, textures, light, the weather and so on. This makes it possible for you to change furniture and the general mood of your project as you wish. Your clients can furnish their property during their VR tour at choice and watch their changes unfold in real-time. They will get to experience their future home exactly as they wish. By including them in the design process they can co-create the architecture themselves, you increase the likelihood that they will love – and purchase – the property.

And What About Augmented Reality?

While VR places the user inside a virtual environment, Augmented Reality (AR) allows the user to place virtual objects inside the real world. This improved (or augmented) version of the location can be viewed through a compatible device such as a smartphone.

AR technology has very exciting applications in real estate; it gives you the ability to add furniture, fittings, and other interior elements to an existing home or office. Your clients can use the resulting AR scenes to understand how changing one part of the décor affects the look and feel of the space. VR and AR are similar, but they are distinct and each technology has its strengths. AR is not as immersive as VR, however, it is simpler to apply and is generally more affordable.

Why are VR solutions so effective?

Virtual Reality applications are based on Unreal Engine technology that is widely used to create virtual environments in computer games. Techniques that game developers have used successfully for years work just as well for architecture and product presentations.

Consequently, many of your clients are already familiar with the basics of how to interact with VR featuring real estate or other products. With this familiarity comes the joy of experiencing the full impact of VR, which is ideal for building rapport in a business-client relationship.

Viewing rooms and moving around like in a computer game allows you to communicate with your clients on an emotional basis. Finally, it provides them with an unparalleled insight into their new home.

Use Virtual Reality to grow your business

Two-dimensional and plain architecture drawings cannot compete with RenderVision’s VR solutions. The virtual environments we create give your clients an adventure in exploration they won’t forget. You can gain a competitive advantage when your real estate is recreated in virtual reality because it appeals to the sensory nature of people. Your clients are much more likely to see the advantages and benefits of a property once they have experienced it through such an extraordinary and unique process.

The almost endless possibilities offer you and your clients total freedom of design while simplifying the communication and workflow between the different work steps. Some of the biggest real estate firms still haven’t incorporated this unique and powerful tool into their marketing and customer service strategy. You can leapfrog all of them by choosing the technology of the future.

From Idea to Virtual Reality: Bringing Visions to Life with VR

We create a fascinatingly detailed world, in which users can move vertically and horizontally, using VR glasses, computers, or smartphones. While similar to the workflow at Render Vision for our 3D renderings, the Virtual Reality creation process makes you an active participant in bringing your property to life.

1. First, we gather all important data, including CAD layouts, two- and/or three-dimensional templates, graphics, drawings, and sketches. The more detailed your ideas are, the easier it is for us to implement the virtual environment.
2. Next, we begin creating models and scenarios. We assign different materials and physical features to every surface to make all objects look as realistic as possible.
3. Then, we present the first draft and seek your feedback regarding the arrangements and details. We implement your input right away and make the necessary changes.
4. Once everything is as you imagined, the final step is the finetuning. We set specific light moods or add weather effects to the environment.
