The shift to remote work has pushed many industries to explore new ways of marketing products and visualizing properties, and AR and VR are becoming increasingly popular ways to execute this.
AR allows customers to visualize how a piece of furniture would look in a room, while VR can create a realistic and immersive experience for customers by allowing them to take virtual tours of properties, walk through rooms, and see the layout.
According to a report by Zillow, over 100 million shoppers used AR in their real estate shopping in 2021. 24% of all transactions in 2021 were sight unseen deals, enabled in large part by digital tools.
