Virtual Reality Set to Transform Real Estate Development Marketing
Madison, Wisconsin (PRWEB) January 29, 2014 -- The building site is vacant, and construction hasn’t started yet, but thanks to Arch Virtual’s new virtual reality experiences you can step inside the new building as if it were already built.
“I feels as if I’m really there! It’s absolutely amazing,” said one visitor at this year’s Autodesk University convention in Las Vegas where Arch Virtual's latest application was showcased. The demo featured a virtual reality experience of a new real estate development project for Panoptic Taris.
"As a marketing tool, Oculus Rift has been extremely effective in helping us pre-sell our development projects. By enabling customers to visualize space and high quality design, Oculus Rift provides a captivating and very fun experience," said Roman Popovych, of Panoptic Group.
The virtual experience uses the popular new Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, which combines real-time head tracking with a stereoscopic display to provide a deeply immersive and engaging experience, leaving the player feeling as if they’ve suddenly been transported to another place.
The same virtual model can also be accessed on Panoptic’s website ([here).
Arch Virtual creates the application by working with pdf blueprint drawings provided, or by importing existing CAD or BIM models from programs like Revit, SketchUp, or ArchiCAD or AutoCAD.
For a price that’s competitive or even lower than traditional architectural illustrations, Arch Virtual not only creates the real-time model, but their visualization package also includes several high resolution screenshots and an animation that can be used in marketing materials and on websites.
“Wherever we demo the Rift, there’s always a unanimous consensus that this technology will soon revolutionize the way we visualize and even design architecture in the very near future,” said Brouchoud.
