Augmented reality is quickly becoming a point of interest for countless industries, and no one understands its potential more than those in construction, architecture, and real estate. Every year, new technologies give professionals the ability to highlight their creations and properties in new ways. A decade ago, companies relied on simple photos and videos to show off their investments—but those days are behind us. Augmented spaces have the potential to change the way we show off the property, designs, and more. Let’s explore what they offer.

What is an Augmented Reality Space?

At Lightbound 3D, we offer augmented spaces with the use of Matterport 3D Photography. This technology gives us the ability to compile complete 3D renderings of an area, which can then be shared with potential clients or buyers. These augmented spaces provide a complete tour experience all from the comfort of the closest digital device. With these spaces, potential clients and investors can tour an area online as if they were walking through it themselves.

How Augmented Reality Increases Interest

Augmentation paired with Building Information Modeling (BIM) can increase buyer and investor interest in a big way. Instead of simply looking at still images or following a chosen path on video, interested parties can easily experience an area for themselves.

Using simple touchpoints, anyone can navigate an entire area as they choose to—and they can even spin the image around to look around from a specific focal point. This immersive experience makes touring and learning about an area more engaging than a simple photo or video can.

Using Augmented Spaces to Reach a Wider Audience

One area where augmented spaces really shine is by reaching a wider audience. Whether you are a real estate agent trying to sell a home or an architect highlighting the best features of your latest design, augmented spaces can reach a global audience with ease. It is as simple as sharing a file or posting the tour in an accessible online space.

This means that you can catch and maintain the interest of buyers or investors from all around the world. With augmented spaces, architecture can be appreciated easily while abroad without being in-person to tour the space. Using this approach, it is possible to convince people from all around the world to choose your property, store, or attraction over the next one.

Conclusion

Already, augmented spaces are being used for a wide range of real estate, construction, and architecture interests. These beautiful and seamless tours offer visitors a chance to explore an area on their own terms so that they can experience it how they want to. With easy navigation and the ability to look closer at any area, visitors will find that they feel like they are actually walking through the area themselves. It is a wonderful way to put visitors in control so that they can experience a space to the fullest extent.
