4. Real Estate: Virtual Property Tours

Real estate agencies are utilizing AR to offer virtual property tours, allowing potential buyers to explore properties without physically visiting them. These AR tours provide a 360-degree view of the property, with interactive points offering information about specific features or appliances.

For realtors, this means a broader reach, as properties can be showcased to international clients. For buyers, it offers convenience and can expedite the decision-making process, as they can shortlist properties based on virtual tours before making actual visits.

 

5. Tourism: Enhanced Exploration

Tourists can now use AR apps to enhance their exploration experiences. By pointing their devices at historical monuments or sites, they can view information, historical facts, and even past reconstructions of the sites. It’s like having a personal tour guide in your pocket.

This not only enriches the tourist experience but also aids in understanding and appreciating the cultural and historical significance of sites. It bridges the gap between the past and the present, offering a comprehensive view of destinations.
