Immerse yourselves! Agent unveils launch of new type of virtual tour

Innovative estate agents Ivy Gate are to launch a new type of ‘virtual reality’ tour which looks to go much further than current offerings

The firm started live promotion of Immersion 360 yesterday morning and the agency, headed by Jason Tebb, hopes to offer it to all clients from January.

The new feature was developed for Ivy Gate, which covers Surrey and south-west London, by a new start-up technology company called ACT Studios.

It allows ‘viewers’ to ‘walk through’ properties and explore them in minute detail, using a smartphone, tablet or computer.

    Matterport, hardly “theirs” and hardly new.

    I seem to remember being able to do something like this back in 2005 – I think it was Fine & Country that had interactive floorplans.

    I was certainly doing 360degree virtual tours in 2005 and 2006.

    It’s smooth without a shadow of a doubt, but hardly new.

    New, theirs or not, that’s a very neat virtual tour indeed

    Blue is correct, other agents have been using this exact same technology for months.

    Floorplans, tours, professional photos and glossy brochures are great however, surely, we want potential purchasers to actually look round, show them the options and potential. If we went this way, would viewings decrease, or cease completely?

      Our jobs without having to do viewings would be amazing, now if only we could do something about solicitors
