With virtual reality showing up in everything from immersive
video games to high-tech condo sales centers, it will only be a matter of time
before virtual becomes real in Apartment World. The folks at Popular
Mechanics are highlighting a loft in London, where it’s so hard to find a
decent apartment that there’s no way you’ll ever land this one. But only
because it doesn’t actually exist. The oh-so-real virtual tour looks amazingly
authentic. And while still a bit gimmicky now, these kinds of capabilities
raise real and compelling possibilities for apartment owners. How about putting
on a pair of VR glasses, and then giving your East Coast-based prospect a
tour of her next apartment, only in San Francisco? Of course, to do so, you’ll
need as robust an Internet infrastructure in your building as possible, an
issue we’ll look at more closely in Part 2 of our examination of How Much Fiber
is Enough?, coming soon. In the meantime, you can look at Part
1 here.
