Review: 3D scanning of real estate premises

Due to the great competition in the real estate market, agents are constantly looking for ways to highlight their ads. Photo and video already surprise no one. A new direction to illustrate the properties - 3D-tours. Plots made with the help of 3D-scanning help to perceive the whole space. The image is obtained absolutely identical to what the person sees in the scanned room.

What is a 3D tour

3D scanning is a way to visualize an object from all sides. During the 3D tour of the apartment or office, you can move in any direction and learn the smallest details. The leader in creating 3D models of real estate is Matterport technology. Three viewing options are possible: in the tour mode, “moving” around the object manually or automatically, in the form of a “dollhouse” and in the format of a floor plan.

findings

Real estate advertising with 3D tours in the west has been used for several years. In Russia, this direction is only beginning to develop and is used mainly for advertising premium offers.

The main advantages of using 3D models when working with real estate are:

- Increased attention to the ad;

- Accessibility for viewing 24/7;

- Saving of time of the agent and client;

- Increase customer loyalty.

Given that 3D scanning of premises in the real estate market in Russia has not yet become a massive marketing ploy, we can assume that real estate agencies that are the first to introduce this technology will receive the maximum economic effect.
