What Are Virtual Property Tours?
A virtual property tour is a digital walkthrough that lets you experience a home or condo remotely. These tours can range from simple 360° room-to-room navigation to fully immersive VR experiences. AR can add context on finishes, fixtures, and layout by layering information onto your screen as you tour.
Here’s how the formats differ at a glance:
| Format | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| VR (Virtual Reality) | An immersive, 360° simulation you can navigate | Getting a real sense of space and flow from anywhere |
| AR (Augmented Reality) | Digital information overlaid on your phone or tablet view | Context on features, finishes, and layout |
