What is a virtual tour?
The virtual tour is a tool to present properties for rent or sale in three dimensions on the internet. All you need for the virtual tour is a computer, a smartphone or a tablet.
Replacement for an on-site visit?
Despite a virtual visit, an on-site visit is essential to get a feel for the surroundings and to examine the property with all your senses. This is the disadvantage: you can't smell, listen and touch on the internet.
The advantages of a virtual tour
Thanks to the 360°/3D virtual tour you can .
- get a real optical first impression of the property for rent or sale
- determine the pace and timing of the virtual tour
- show it to other family members, friends and your architectWhat are the possibilities of a virtual tour?
Explore
A virtual tour allows you to move from room to room, turn around, move forward and even look at ceilings and floors to explore the object in your own way.
Find your way around
If we have floor plans, we add a radar that shows you the perspective and you can orientate yourself better. If you click on the buttons on the map, you will find yourself directly at the chosen location.
Information
We provide you with useful information, e.g. about technical installations, and we can even integrate videos, photos, files, etc.
Virtual reality
If you have a virtual tour headset or a cardboard, you can visit the object in virtual reality, i.e. you can immerse yourself in it. To start this immersive 3D virtual tour, put on your headset and click on the icon.
Other uses and the future
A virtual tour or panoramic photos are also useful for technical building management. We are still at the beginning of this development and have already gained our first experiences. In the future, this tool will certainly be developed further and we will have other ideas for using it. We are always on the lookout for new ideas.
360°/3D video
The virtual video has to be created separately and does not have the same advantages as a virtual tour. For example, it is not yet possible to integrate points, speed cameras, additional information etc. and the pace of the tour is predefined. Nevertheless, we also create videos to publish them on the internet, especially on Youtube.
What we offer
If the owner agrees, we create 360°/3D virtual tours and 360°/3D videos when the premises are vacant. Virtual reality is integrated in all our virtual tours. In my opinion, this tool is not suitable for occupied premises, because every corner is visible and with a virtual reality headset or a cardboard, the user can immerse himself in it. If we market real estate (sale, rental), a virtual visit is included in the mandate at no cost to the owner. We create virtual tours for all types of property (studio, furnished or unfurnished, flat, villa, commercial premises, office, arcade, etc.). For technical reasons, the publication is exclusively on our website and the file remains the property of Esther Lauber and cannot be passed on to third parties (e.g. other brokers, competitors, etc.).
Examples of virtual tours:
Villa: Virtual tour villa
Flat: Virtual tour apartment
Offices: Virtual tour office for rent
