The Real Estate Metaverse

The real estate industry is one which is constrained by distance (e.g., property is too far away), time (e.g., unable to attend viewings at a specific time) and physical (e.g., unable to modify the property during viewings) limitations. We present The Real Estate Metaverse, a demonstration platform which allows users to overcome these limitations using Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR). Users can freely view listed properties and tour surrounding amenities in VR. In addition, they can customize the property in real time and visualize the amount of sunlight in rooms during different times of the day. To support its deployment on low-end devices, we leverage the edge and cloud render streaming infrastructure and compare the Frame Per Second (FPS) performances.
