INTERACTIVE VR
Interactive Virtual Reality and Real-Time Rendering
Fully immerse your customers in an unforgettable real-time rendered virtual reality experience
Want to be able to show a customer around a property before it’s been built? Using interactive technology and virtual reality (VR) is the perfect solution.
​
There are two types of VR, with pros and cons for each.
Pre-rendered 'Static'
Pre-rendered static VR usually takes the form of a 360 tour, where all imagery is pre-rendered. This creates the impression of an interactive tour as you can usually look in any direction you wish, moving between a set of predefined locations and positions.
However, you cannot change the geometry, materials or lighting without switching to a new set of pre-rendered images.
Fully Real-Time Rendered 'Live'
Real-Time rendered VR utilises the latest real-time rendering technology that renders images in fractions of a second. This gives users total freedom to move through and interact with the environment.
Additionally, users can fully interact with anything within the environment, as the experience allows changes to geometry, materials and lighting. This creates an interactive marketing experience that brings properties to life with the most realistic feel possible. With fully customisable technology, you are only limited by your imagination.

Opens the door to the Metaverse
Blue Cube Studios can advise on the most suitable option for marketing your property, as there are important differences between the two types of VR currently available.
​
Conventional 360 tours that use a limited number of pre-rendered images are very cost effective. However, investing in real-time rendering opens the door to fully interactive functionality as your prospective buyers move freely throughout the 3D environment, including the ability to change the time of day, swap materials, specifications, and configurations. By building a live experience, the avenue to sales is greater, as customers can explore their housing options, going as near to real life as possible before a build is complete.
