New technologies at the service of real estate

Although today the intervention of a third party during a real estate visit is still indispensable, we are on the verge of major upheavals in the real estate sector and more particularly in the online advertising niche.
Digital technology is changing our habits and rewriting the process of finding a home.
Major developments include the 3D virtual tour which allows you to visit a property remotely, in total immersion, from a computer or a mobile phone.
The 3D virtual tour allows you to move around the rooms, from one floor to another, recreating the interior environment of a flat or house. Thanks to these new generation real estate ads, you can evaluate the spaces, volumes and luminosity of the dwelling. It is a faithful projection of the interior of the property, as if you were there!
How does it work?
3D animation shots
The virtual visit has become a necessity in thenew property. Buying a home off-plan is often a barrier to purchase.
From 2D plans, specialised companies can animate the plans of a property in 3D to to bring the future building to life.
The virtual flat, or house, can then be visited with astonishing reality. Personalization of the home, furnishing, decoration, everything is possible. And to take it a step further, virtual reality headsets offer a unique experience to the future owner.
Matterport technology
Matterport is the company that developed this technology used by real estate professionals. It consists of a 3D mapping camera which allows you to scan a existing property, house or flat, in 3D to visit it from a distance.
This camera can recreate a 3D environment with its colours, contours and depth in very high quality. It is even possible to see the outside environment through the windows!
