Changing the Property Game with Virtual Reality

It’s hard to imagine buying a house without physically inspecting it first. But, the days of making decisions on a property based on floor plans and street addresses are numbered.

Developers and architects are no longer limited to two-dimensional floor plans, photographs and artist's impressions. Thanks to virtual reality, they can now immerse their audiences in rich, interactive experiences of completed projects before a single brick has been laid.

It's not just industry insiders who benefit from this technology. Virtual reality is also changing the way we purchase property. At Stockwell, our 'off the plan' sales experiences incorporate virtual walkthroughs, both on screen or via a headset, for a truly interactive and immersive experience. Virtually stepping into an apartment gives buyers a great sense of layout and size with the ability to compare two floorplans beyond the sales brochure effortlessly.

The process starts with creating a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) model, from there, an immersive VR experience is formed, which gives the customer an accurate idea of how the completed apartment will look. Then, different colour schemes, fittings and fixtures can be applied, reducing the guesswork about the finished product, rendering everything from appliances, carpets, wall finishes, benchtops, and tiles.

Every space can be explored, allowing viewers to open cupboards, turn on lights, experience 24 hours of sunlight in seconds, and experience real world views from balconies & windows with actual Drone footage. At Stockwell, we collaborate with Revista, who leads the way with entirely computer generated experiences. Being one of Australia's longest standing 3D companies, they have spent years perfecting the art of 3D space and product visualisation for unparalleled spatial perspective.
