Homebuyers and sellers can now experience a 3D virtual home tour of the Luxury Communities in Las Vegas, with the first Augmented Reality website for real estate, launched by PlugRE.com.
"We are giving consumers a unique experience with the ability to walk through both communities and properties using the latest VR technology," says Jason Trindade, CEO of PlugRE.com.
According to their press release in PR NewsWire, the launching of the new Augmented Reality for Real Estate in Las Vegas, is part of the beta test being conducted by the company. PlugRE.com plans to bring the website technology showcasing properties for sale and rent in Florida, California, and Hawaii. PlugRE.com is aiming to be the primary stop for home buyers and renters who want to have a tour of the property they want from the comfort of their home or in the palm of their hand. They also offer home or condo sellers a unique way of determining the value of their property, as well as reach a larger audience when they decide to sell their home or condos.
"The technology is amazing, the visitors love it and the traffic on the site is steadily increasing. PlugRE.com is going to disprupt this multi-billion dollar market that's led by Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com," said Michael Bell, President of Business Development at PlugRE.
PlugRE.com supports a wide variety of technologies and media. These include the support for the Matterport 3D imaging and various hand-held spherical cameras like the Ricoh Theta. As an open platform, PlugRE.com can interface with any device that takes a spherical picture. Spherical images created with DSLR cameras are stitched together with programs like AutoPano Giga from Kolor.com.
Jason Trindade, founder of PlugRE.com, is also the CEO of King of Condos and IKing Realty, which has real estate brokerage licenses in four states. Being a licensed broker, PlugRE.com has the ability to connect with various data sources, including county records and local MLS boards. At present, there are over 2.5 million records in their property database.
