Virtual Reality (VR) is in the midst of turning the digital world on its head, and as the virtual revelation continues to evolve so does its technology. Everyday experts in the field are continually pushing the boundaries to bring us something new and innovative. But what are these experts actually working on?

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Thanks to VR agents are now able to show customers flats from their office with a VR headset! This will be a massive advantage for both agencies and customers, as customers can view multiple properties without having to move locations each time. With a service like this it can give the property market the sales surge that it needs, whilst retaining customer loyalty.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Amazon is currently sitting at the forefront of this idea as one of the largest conglomerates in the online retail industry. The idea behind it is that you can use VR or AR to help visualised products before you buy them. Again this is bound to see sales soar as customers will be able to “Try before they buy” without having to place an order.
