06 Jun A Surprising Tool That’s Changing the Way We View Real Property

Technology enhances user experience.

Although traditional marketing tools such as still-shot photography and video production remain in the forefront of the real estate market, immersive virtual spaces are changing the way we view real property. There are several key points where these 3-D tours differ compared to customary images passed down through generations of realtors. In this blog, we highlight some of those differences.

Matterports technology and the ability to produce 3-D video production allows you to capture images from floor to ceiling. Even with standard video production using a boom or crane does not allow a 3-D depth of field.

Another point is this new technology presents virtual reality and is interactive.
