Tech : Augmented reality - iproperty goggle

I can only think of how futuristic home buying can be. This new little goggle device could walk customers throughout a building through virtual space, generating cool visual experience for buyers to grasp the sense of a space while helping customers to imagine the space specifically for them.


I guess in the future, visiting a development showroom will not be the same as before. Skip the usual 2D flyers and the scaled models, and try on the virtual showroom in a special lounge that starts simulating from the moment you "enter" the building.


Right away the virtual space can show several options of space usage or interior designs. Whether you are planning to have a party or thinking of usage planning, simulations can be done to show how spaces work or doesn't work according your preference. Even better, displaying how spaces can be transformed to accommodate occupants as family members grows.


The virtual space can be informative with all features highlighted together visual effects. Information regarding size and amenities or even better green features of the building that can show the efficiency energy consumption.


Well if this were to be implemented to something like self check-in kiosk as we experience nowadays, where human services can be substituted by machine, I guess developer can employ lesser sales agent and let the robots do the run-thru. Allowing making marketing reach greater public.

Perhaps in the future, showrooms or sales booths will something look like this.
